Patrick - When the muse speaks, it's time to write. As for clones, I'm not a fan. They lack originality. Once you've seen one clone, you've seen them all! ;D

Why do people always assume that cloning will be done for military use? I predict that when it becomes a reality we will have shops on every corner selling clones that look like young Jessica Alba, young Catherine Zeta-Jones, young Pamela Anderson etc - and for a totally different purpose. ;-)

Peter, you have a great idea... might even work against pedophiles and priests!!! Young schoolgirl, young altar boy, etc...!!! But then again you'd have newly enacted Clone Rights!!! As for the military, no clones but Supersoldier tech. Germany has fielded the only successful test suit- the IDZ Phase I tested in the Balkans. EADS is helping with Phase II now. Ultimately, these soldiers will reach Phase III- the fully-integrated, stealthy, aerospace soldier with incredible tech: Rheinmetall plasma rifle, light-splitting active aural camouflage, communication with all integrated German weapon systems, sight-recorder systems for real-time threat assessment and management, optiplate imaging and targeting, hexacore cellular steel armor, KKV launchers, sniper scanned echolocation, self-repairing systems, and computerized integrated monitoring of soldier performance (will they be on MINDEX drugs???)...

Peter, you may be on to something. If you've been following my cloning series, you've seen that these military adventures are not turning out so well. OMR what's even worse, those clones look like me. Rob, maybe I ought to try robots, instead.

Patrick, Germans have tested them too with autonomous AFVs like the Wiesel and have designs for walking combat robots- ACRs (Autonomous Combat Robots). German SEKs and MEKs both use robotic bomb detonators and armed robots in limited roles already.

Have you ev3er heard "(We're All) Clones" by Alice Cooper or seen the movie "Pink Floyd: The Wall"? Those works of art have strong anti-conformity themes, and they reflect the way I feel at times. OMR, I agree that clones have no originality. Have you also noticed how so many bands from the mid 90s to today are clones, and so many TV shows and movies are cookie-cutter? Your rewrite isn't like that, it's great and I salute you!

Awesome!Excellent for Star Wars Clone Troopers.It's Totally necesary to make a youtube music video .Hurry up!

How about a super hero, "Cy Clone" who worships the wind?

CloneTrooper, in case you are new to this site, I have granted permission to anyone with the requisite skills to record or produce videos of any of my parodies. All I ask is a copy and a reasonable share of any royalties (ha! ha!). If you have the time and the camera, go for it.
