Hello to everyone! I am new to the site, but a long time SF writer, though as of this date, I still have not had anything published. However, I still trek on and have the hopes of one day seeing my work in book form.

I wanted to ask the population of the site their opinion on a question I have been pondering.

One of the main characters in my latest novels has found out they are a clone and has just met their Original. I would like to merge the two together somehow combining their physical form as well as their memories, but do not know how to phrase it to make it sound believable. Yes, I know that as an author, what you type becomes reality and cloning of a person's memories isn't reality at this time, nor may it ever be.

Excited to see some of your opinions on this.

Thanks so much.

Regards.

You mean, like physically merge? Like once they meet, they enter some primordial muck and their memories meld as well as their bodies? Or there's some sort of telepathy that goes on and hocus-pocus that sears their bodies together? Or?

Yeah, it sounds tough--unless you're going for multiple organ transplants. My initial take on it would be that the medical community was doing a DNA search via computer because they truly need a geno-match for a body part: kidney or whatever.

The two meet, discover the reality of their identical selves, and on their own they work out a very different deal. The dying one, rather than taking organs from the healthy one, simply cedes him/her all of his/her memories, knowledge and aspects of personality. That way they both survive (mentally and spiritually) within one body.

How to do a complete mind-meld? I don't know. Spock was good at it, and I don't think they issued his meldee any flash cards.

Have fun -- WB

Bleh...this the best this group can do? (grin). Krazy Kerry's Konstructs provides you a quick (well, not that quick) and easy (please read disclaimers) method of merging two DNA-matching candidates into one simple easy to use third form. Yes, the neural mapping of memory centers is expensive (hey, what isn't, right?) and there are going to be, um, some conflicts in the resulting memory and behavior patterns where the characteristics of two subjects try and resolve themselves in the third, but hey, Science!

And don't forget, February is Bio-perge month. Twenty percent off on full bio-flushes. We are also proud to introduce our No Questions package regarding the original two candidates disposal.
