 ==Human cloning==
-While flash cloning entire humans is possible, it is by no means perfect, and unauthorized cloning is illegal. The crime is punished with harshly, and is considered to have a severity on par with that of modern day child pornography. The process involves the modification of a human embryo, which causes it to develop one hundred times faster than it would have naturally, and become something different than it normally would have. Many anomalies appear because flash clones are forced to develop too quickly -- they lack the [[Wikipedia:muscle memory|muscle memory]] and [[Wikipedia:socialization|socialization]] of their hosts. Those these problems can be corrected with intensive therapy, the worst flaw in flash-cloned humans -- compounding biological defects -- cannot be corrected. One to two months after cloning, a flash-clone will start to degenerate from metabolic instability as part of a process called "metabolic cascade failure". They inevitably die from various neurological and physiological diseases.<ref>[[Axon Clips Chapter 7]]</ref>

 Flash-clones were used in the [[SPARTAN-II Program]]. After the Spartan candidates were abducted from their homes, they were replaced with flash-clones as part of a cover-up. The flash-clones quickly died natural (though certainly abnormal) deaths, drawing suspicion away from [[ONI]]. Internal criticism of the unethical use of flash-clones led to the use of orphaned children in the subsequent [[SPARTAN-III Program]].
