Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jemal" data-source="post: 4425697" data-attributes="member: 9026">Apologies, I didn't see it.  I wish I had so we could've figured this out earlier.Well obviously not as basic as you seem to believe, as I haven't seen anybody agreeing with your assumptions.  Everything Eric's stating as fact I've only heard as Theories and beliefs.Again with the absolutes.  You don't know that, and neither does Eric.  he may believe it, but without doing the research yourself there's no way you can know what is and isn't possible, only what other people tell you they believe to be possible.  A couple hundred years ago, the concept of going to the moon was 'impossible'.  Signals allowing conversation across the globe?  Impossible.  Flying machines?  Impossible.  And they had what they believed to be sceintific proof.  Until somebody prooved them wrong by doing it.My point is I also have pet peeves.. one of those is when people treat science with a closed-minded "this is the way things are, that cannot change" attitude, so I apologize if I seem to be getting a bit more testy about this than may seem fair.If you've got a real problem with the concept of clones, then there's nothing I can do about that other than tell you that I won't be changing the storyline.You don't know how fast, disposable, OR perfect the clone was/is.  All you know so far is what magneto told you.It's a bit late for that now, I'm reluctant to go back and change that many posts between Magneto & Eric of what is/isn't.  The only change I could think to make to what Eric 'knows' at the moment is to asert that "this type of cloning is impossible to achieve with humanity's current Technology".. though that's more of a scientific opinion than any fact, and you don't need a knowledge check to get that.unfortunately without interacting with the clone magneto, there's no way of knowing what he's actually like, whether he's got his own personality, whether he's an automoton, etc.   There's only one person in the room who's actually spent any time with the clone, and that's Nightcrawler.  If you have questions about the clone, I'd suggest asking him.Now, all that having been said, it's just my personal opinions on the matter.  I'm not a scientist, I don't claim to be exceedingly intelligent, and I know about as much about cloning as any average joe's seen on TV or read on wiki.  I'm a science-fiction writer, attempting to create a STORY that I believe will be entertaining, not tell a near-future prediction that's probable and likely, and I apologize to those reading this who are offended by my disagreeance with what they believe to be fact, but that won't change my views or my story.Impossible is Nothing.Nothing is Impossible.</blockquote>
