Everyone cries as the story is told and view-screens fill with Mary the mechanical killing herself to save Dee, Woll, and the two children. It has made it possible for people to treat mechanicals more kindly, and it is common now to see mechanicals with young and old features.
Also, gradually the general knowledge that Clones live on other Planets and some of their offspring or great grandchildren might be half or a quarter-Clone took the sting out of Cloning. On the 18th reunion date the U.N. declared all Cloning laboratories lawful and Clones legal citizens. They could live wherever they wanted—even in the Clone Colony. After that date, any childless couple could apply for a permit from a local governmental unit for a cloned child and that approved permit carried weight equal to a birth certificate. The law stated that a cloned child was one not born of a human mother, and that for the usual office fee of nine dollars the new child’s name would be added to the official U.N. Computer memory banks. All fertility labs quickly added legal Cloning services.
Lastly, as I mentioned earlier, there is serious talk again at the highest levels of learning and government of setting our calendar back to zero. Some want zero to be the year that the U.N. became the government of earth. Others, a larger and growing group, argue for zero to be the launch date of New Horizons or a date near that. My wish is that it be the date and time Bakman was first arrested. Also, many, me included, want time before and after zero to be referred to as B.B. and A.B. (Before Bakman and After Bakman).
