Jill peered down the microscope and probed the tiny cell trying to coax the contents into the micropipette. Shed done the procedure hundreds of times but every time was a chore. Perhaps it was the weather. She felt a little out of sorts, nothing she couldnt handle, a cold maybe. The micropipette penetrated the ova and removed its contents. Another pipette soon replaced it with the eucaryotic nucleus. She added the mutagen and a small current watching as the spindles moved to the far sides of the cell.Nothing to do now for 48 hours then she would cleave the blast and the resulting clones would be frozen until they were implanted. She wondered who the lucky one was as she put the blast into the incubator and closed the door There were seven cones created that day, all male since the progenitor was male. All of the initial checks came out clean the DNA was a perfect match. The surrogates never knew the identities they carried only that they were well paid for their services.If fact the surrogates never even saw the children as the dream sleep made birth a distant process and the aferdase removed the short term memory of the fact. Even though the practice of cloning was fairly new the Government was one of the Tarin Companys biggest customers. Dale Tarin was always taking new potential clients around, showing the place off, explaining the procedure and answering questions.Today was no different. The senator had once been on the Bioethics Committee, but Dale sold him long ago on the procedures safety. Now he was trying to get him to have the procedure done on the same senator who once argued against his work. 001
