Any DNA becomes irreparably and inexorably damaged with time: through ionizing radiations, e.g., through chemical reactions, and so on; this can't be escaped, the damages accumulate. Good luck to the clones.

they told: don't care if the `learners', the subjects which are going to
receive the shocks (actors of course, the shocks were fake) complain: the
"authority" (the white collar experimenters of the... "respected
university" as you emphasize), assumes full responsibility; and so on.

power of authority and the obedience to it; and the non-fake shock has

Kitsch. (Maybe well meant, but terrifying nevertheless.)
How can you say that something is "great" if you don't even know where
it will lead?... not because you (wrongly) assume that Progress (or
what you imagine it is) always, automatically yields good things, I hope
Do you see a resemblance now?

you making a parody?--, the application of a similar, quasi- or non

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Agreed. They also don't understand anything about blackdoors and backeyes.

Indeed.

Agreed. Why most people can't conjecture this, --just this--, I don't understand. (Or maybe yes.)
But the NYT as the: Acta Informatica. This yes.
