The Evolution of Code

 «There may have been an error when the body was printed. Were there problems with the bioprinter when printing others?»

«No one reported anything.»

«Will you reprint the body?»

«But that’s like murder! It’s a living being!»

«For recreation we need material with the genetic code of the body. We will disassemble this print and use it as biomaterial for a new organism. If the process of printing produces a weapon it could be dangerous, and children should not be instruments of war.
