This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

[Posted from WHORL, the mailing list for Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun]

Gene Wolfe's the _Fifth Head of Cerberus_ is mentioned as a work influenced=
 by
the discussion of cloning in the later 1960s and early 1970s in _Clone_ by
Gina Kolata (William & Morrow, 1998) on page 114. A plot summary is offered
and the work is related to the fears and hopes people have about cloning.
