Iris, The Prelude of Clones

Synopsis Will Pandora's Box of Human Cloning Be Opened? In 1997, Dr. Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland, introduced the world to "Dolly," the first cloned sheep. By 2015, the American company VIAGEN PETS had become the first in the world to clone deceased dogs and cats, producing hundreds of cloned animals and establishing itself as the largest animal cloning company in the United States. In May 2023, a baby with DNA from three parents was born at the Newcastle Fertility Centre in the UK, made possible through mitochondrial replacement technology. As of 2024, we find ourselves in the age of AI, with expectations that AI will soon evolve into AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), capable of thinking like humans and even surpassing human intelligence. AGI is anticipated to address long-standing challenges in genetic engineering and biotechnology swiftly and effectively. But what happens when human desires come into play? What if a beloved child, spouse, parent, or even a renowned politician or scholar passes away? With sufficient funding and stable technology, could they be cloned? Even in the Bible, the birth of Jesus is described as asexual reproduction. According to Christian doctrine, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. This event, known as the "virgin birth," signifies a departure from the typical human reproductive process. This belief is a foundational doctrine of Christianity, underscoring both the divinity and humanity of Jesus. While the concept of asexual reproduction differs from traditional scientific reproductive methods, it is viewed through the lens of faith as divine intervention. Currently, biotechnology is advancing rapidly in most areas, with the exception of core somatic cell cloning. This progress is gradually resolving uncertainties and instabilities while pushing the boundaries of what is deemed divine. A top-down approach, which entails completing surrounding technologies before developing nuclear weapons and only adding the warhead when conditions are right, is already being applied in genetic engineering and biotechnology. In the United States, violations of the Human Cloning Prohibition Act can result in penalties of up to 10 years in prison or fines exceeding $1 million. If someone is willing to take that risk...? The Pandora's Box of human cloning is already upon us.

Never before has the world been so devoid of miracles and intuition as in this era. I firmly believe that there is a need, for sparkle that illuminates our tomorrows. That's why woth all my limits I told the story of a girl, all projected towards the next holiday with her best friend, who instead gets "thrown" on the Costa Brava at the house of a grandmother that she doesn't know at all and is really very, very particular. So, as I was saying, the story starts from a journey that began by chance, or by bad luck as Bianca, 17 years old and with fluctuating self-esteem, would say. In truth, the journey will take her to distant lands where she is, however, able to feel more at home than ever... and where she will discover her roots, but also something very special that binds her to her grandmother Virginia, never seen or known before, if not in old yellowed photos locked inside a shoebox. It is thanks to this gift that she will be able to read and react to the succession of unexpected situations that will lead her to feel like she is on a roller coaster, but also to grow emotionally. As the chapters continue, the characters around the protagonist become deeper, starting from her roots, from Grandma Virginia and her complex story of mourning and unresolved motherhood, up to the past from which Bianca's first great love, Jan and his family. This book is about growth, but also about returning to the past in search of a meaningful narrative that gives a framework to the relationships torn apart around the protagonist. But then it also talks about teenage love, made up of butterflies and holes in the stomach, all seasoned in a magical sauce. He was born 10 years ago but probably like many others, he grew up in the winter of humanity 2020 2022, and sometimes, with a bit of arrogance, he drags the reader into all those somatic reactions typical of adolescent emotions that have been lost with the advent of Covid. It is dedicated to the adolescents I deal with as a psychotherapist, but it hopes to appeal to adults with a romantic soul. Genre Young Adult Paranormal.
