In Orphan Black, several apparently unconnected women discover that
they are exact physical doubles -- they're illegally produced
clones, and someone is having them killed. Law enforcement is
powerless to help. The clones are forced to form their own Clone
Club to defend themselves. Orphan Black raises philosophical
issues, as well as ethical and policy questions. What makes a
person unique? Should we have a say in whether we're cloned? Is it
immoral to generate clones with built-in defects? What does the
behavior of the Clone Club tell us about the nature-nurture debate?
Is it relevant that most are heterosexual, one is a lesbian, and
one is a transgendered male? Orphan Black shows us problems of
biotechnology that will soon be everyday issues. What kind of a
future faces us when human clones are commonplace? Will groups of
clones have a tight bond of solidarity, making them a threat to
democracy? If the world is going to be taken over by an evil
conspiracy, would a scientific cult like Neolution or a religious
cult like the Prolethians be better? Should biotech corporations be
able copyright human DNA? What rules of morality apply when you
can't trust the police?
