They were ordinary people: A visual artist, an engineering student, an assistant secretary, an unemployed carpenter, a school teacher, a wealthy restaurateur and a roaming surfer. They had very little in common and likely would never have come upon each other were it not for the novelty of their propagation.

Late in 2034, all were conceived as some of the very few Mildly Altered Clones that would e Read more of this blog post »

“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

[Address at Rice University, September 12 1962]
John F. Kennedy

Woody Allen

Helen Keller
