In an unprecedented move, the newly-crowned Czar has announced that a large grant will be given to a team of scientists if they can successfully make human cloning cheap and efficient. The aim of this project is to create an underground society of clones for the purpose of organ donations to their original counterparts. The clones will need to be free of problems, both biological and mental.

Corinthian scientists have already applied for the grant, a sum to be decided later, though foreign scientists are also welcome to apply. Please submit a resume for your team, your qualifications, previous experience, and opinions on how to go about the research. Also include the general amount of credits it might take to complete.

The overall aim of this project is to have human clones available as early as possible. Additional funding will be provided if the project requires it, and research will be done in West Corinthian laboratories. All research equipment will be provided.

In case of any moral protests due to this act, the Czar has placed the military on elevated alert.

Unless another nation can submit an application for the contract, it will be given to Corinthian scientists.

I'll send some of our best researchers, and maybe, you can send some of your best Robotics experts to help with our "Learning Robot" prototype?

The act of human cloning itself is repulssive--though to only clone these creatures for the purposes of cutting them to peices and giving their organs to their 'originals' is even more repugnant. I ask what possible reasoning could you have beyond medical purposes for bringing a creature to existance, only to torment it by forcifully taking its organs at will and giving them away. What if the clones refuse to give up their organs? What if the clone resists and is killed? Will that be considered murder for they are not born into this World--but rather 'formed' into it? Do clones even have basic rights or will they simply be used as a 'fallback' net for humans?

If there was ever a form of torture--this would clearly be it.

Our intentions are purely medical. We assure you the clones will live happy lives away from society, and that they will feel no pain when called upon to save a life. They will not resist because they will not know. We'll even tell them they've won a vacation.
Surely clones are not to be considered individuals. They wouldn't exist if it weren't for artificial practices. What if a little girl was dying because she needed a heart transplant and there were no available donors? Now, what if there was an exact match for a donor? No risk of organ rejection, and the girl lives. The clone is incinerated as if nothing has happened.
Would you let that little girl die?

So you shall treat them as sub-humans per say? With no real rights and their existance upheld so long as their originals don't do something less than intelligant: such as getting lung cancer aftering a life of smoking, or liver cancer after a life of hard drinking. They will be anther factor in realeasing humans from any responsbility for their actions. A aura of invicibility. While there may be countless good things from this, there are more bad things that will come. More long term bad things.

We stand by Jagada, it is also, my regret to inform you, that, I am putting a trade embrago on you effective in one hour.

If it truly the wish of the international community, clones will only be produced in situations where:

-The patient's life is in danger and there are no available donors
-A high-ranking official needs it

Keep in mind the technology hasn't even entered development, as we don't have scientists capable of doing the job.
