Clone

(• • • • • Life)                                                                           Technocracy:  Progenitors  41

The FACADE Engineer can replicate an animal or human agent, given a sample of tissue from the individual.  Unfortunately in the case of replacement agent clones, and fortunately in the case of replacement bodies for Progenitors, this cloning does not include any injuries, scars or body alterations not made at the genetic level.  If the genetic code of the sample is altered prior to cloning by a Genegineer, the altered DNA will determine the form.

A Progenitor, for example, is infected with an incurable disease and dies.  His cell samples, taken with he was a Student, are then used to recreate his body without any trace of the disease or the damage it had inflicted.

Clones, unlike the tissue grafts above, are not subject to Paradox if the clone is properly prepared, and may live indefinitely, though they will age.
