Not sure what happened(doubt if you care).
Anyways I'm missing a part and was just wondering if someone could type what is missing, so that I can get the whole thing. pg 16 its the KAM Shadowtalker I have through "- a viable clone would cause more legal problems than we have lawyers to solve, I think. Is a clone an..." I don't have anything else till his signature, so I'm hoping that there is not two small posters that have a few sentences each, and that it is only a single paragraph. I hope this is legal. I mean I own the book, just some crappy thing happened, and this is the only part of the book that has the blank. |

I've occasionally quoted on these forums excerpts much longer, essential and interesting than that one, and the details you gave are enough of a proof (if you had a way to note those few words without owning the book, you could have noted the whole paragraph...).
Not very interesting I'm afraid. The good old KAM had better days. I find her point quite stupid. All the legal issues about two beings having the same genetical code should be easily solved taking twins cases for precedences. |

Consider that parents are responsible for what their child does - it a point and whether because the child is an expression of the genes or because they have taken such responsibility is a legal question. Guardians are afforded "more" maneuvering over their responsibility to the child than parents - and for the reason that they had less to do with the child's end behavior. I do agree the last point she makes would be solved: if you consented to the clone then you would be as responsible as a normal parent.
Then there are issues about ownership of the creation and citizenship. Can a clone be granted a SIN or is being born a requirement of human life? Even beyond that is a clone grown in a vat ever born and thus is not even granted citizenship to begin with? But maybe Im making it more complicated than it is. |

Very good point, and to think I was waiting for that line just to continue reading the book. Ohhh well. Thanks none the less. I made sure to write it down, not going to repeat this in a few years, when I want to re-read the book!
Still I could see someone sueing someone for this stupid reason. So KAM makes a valid point, we don't seem to have enough lawyers sueing people for stupid crap now. I'm sure we will have even more of a problem by 2060. |

If you're book is missing a section, I'm sure Fanpro or Wizkids or whatever will replace it.

Unless, of course, you didn't acquire a print format of the book... |

Well, considering the placement of that shadowtalk section on the page, and the fact that 252 knew the identity of the poster, I would guess there was a mishap involving something spilled on the book? Faulty printing is possible, though, I guess. |
