They might be? I don't know what "genetically" means.

It'd take a bit to get into.

Say, while I've got the genetics expert here, what happens if someone and their simulacrum have a child?

Would the daughter be like her mother in appearance and innate character, but starting from a clean slate? I wouldn't raise an Ileosa the way I was myself raised, and would appreciate the chance to do it right.

What you're thinking of is a clone, but you can't make one that way. Instead your daughter would be extremely inbred and unhealthy.

Hm. I don't think heal fixes inbreeding, so that makes me less excited about motherhood.

Unless you know of a different way to make clones?

I don't know how to do it at your tech level.

If I do eventually have an heir, maybe with a dragon or duke of Hell or someone, I'd like to be the one who bears the child - people say that children have a special connection with their mother, and I'm hoping that makes him or her less likely to kill me.

But at any rate, I'd like to wait on having kids until I've been alive for at least one human generation, so no one grows up with any cultural assumptions about my dying and leaving an inheritance... although that does mean I can't have children by any of my current crop of minions... although I could still breed you with each other, which would also be fun.

...But it would mean that my dad would never meet his grandchildren, or acknowledge me as the superior parent.

I'll need to think on this.

What's ninety-three?
