It's not like they're genetic and would pass on to your offspring, is it? For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye.

Actually, genetic manipulation is the way that I do my style of mods. While the mods are locked into a recessive state-it would be horribly negligent to do otherwise-I would recommend that you procreate in an unmodified clone.
Honestly, any fetus should have a whole genetic workup before it's brought to term. That way, we can fix problems before they start.

So, if anyone knows my work, I was lead on the R32G7 resistant marrow. It uses the K2L5_a(e) retrovirus vector to deliver a Chondrichthyes splice into the DNA of the patient's marrow. It's an incredibly cheap and effective way of treating blood cancers.

I have very little issue with body modifications on their own. I'm not overly fond of genetic manipulation and DNA splicing to accomplish it but that is a personal grievance.

I never will understand why people into anthropomorphic sub-cultures have to make everything so sexual. I mean so okay, some Gallentean wants to be a Thorax in real life, why do you have to wear a mankini then? Kurilaivonen\|Concern

It's already annoying enough having to go and get all my tattoos back after I lose a clone (except the Voluval, which, oddly enough, is transferable between clones. Don't know why), and it only gets worse as a Matari capsuleer grows in age and experience. Then there's that irritating search and installation of replacement implants. If I were to use mechanical prosthetic I will also have to amputate myself every time I replace a clone!

I can't imagine getting the body mods being any more pleasant.

Genetic manipulation does not equate to genetic transmission to offsprings...

It has to specifically splice genetic material present in the gonads where it can be then transmitted to children.

Most body-mods I heard of usually do not do that. I am pretty sure as well that transmissible body-modding is perfectly illegal in many places, but maybe I am mistaken...

Unless the body mod gene manipulation is performed on the gonads, it shouldn't be genetically transmissible. That's basic genetics knowledge.

Mh... Thank you, that is a way better summarized than I did...

We wonder if the mind of our current clone is irreversibly polluted after traversing this thread. No amount of self-inflicted lashes will cleanse the stain.

The DNA splice will be a part of their complete genome by the cloning processes. While it would be possible to procreate and pass on the modifications, all clones that are produced with mods will be sterile.

So I reckon you are using a highly virulent virus that adds additional chromosomes into every cell in a person's body?

Are you sure that's safe?

*sighs* No. I engineer the DNA that we use to grow the clone. You will get a brand new clone body with the mods.

Unless something has changed, clones prior to usage are empty shells, scaffolds of extracellular-matrices and nucleus-less cells, bathed in saline solution and kept in cryo. They only start taking on characteristics of the individual when moved into reserve, whereupon template DNA (based on the individual's genetic information) is introduced into the clone body, which is then treated in a soup of hormones, cytokines and other signaling molecules for an undisclosed period of time in a controlled environment. What exactly did you change?
