Page "Katherine MacLean" Paragraph 14

:: Even now most biotechs have not fully accepted the implication that every cell in the body can generate an entire copy of the person.

But perhaps a copy will be changed and mutated for the worse by exposure to ambient radiation and other mutagens.

Perhaps a cell needs to generate a placenta around it to develop into an entire body.

Something like that is holding up the biochemists from successfully making copies of individuals from body or blood cells.

Not for long!

I wrote three more stories with novel genetic ideas before 1953.

Some have not been followed up by scientists yet.
