Clonus/Fridge
- She didn't see the point of all the exercising shots at the beginning until she later realized they were being used as sources of organs. What better way to make sure the organs would be in good shape than to make sure everyone was supremely fit? The movie is still bad, but at that point she realized it was possible to salvage it. - theorc
- Old!Richard is ostensibly murdered by his brother's goons at the end, so why'd they bother freezing Clone!Richard afterwards? His specific organ recipient isn't around anymore. That said, as a clone of his brother Richard's organs would likely be usable in the event that Senator Knight needed anything.
- Considering how much money, time and effort it would take to raise of just one clone, would you just throw away a perfectly good source of potential organs to provide for a lesser client? It dosen't take any effort to freeze and store them.
- And just how useful is this whole idea anyway? The vast majority of people will go through life never needing an organ transplant. Think of the hundreds of thousands of dollars and decades of time it takes to raise each of the clones to adulthood, keep them in peak physical condition, and then preserve them on the off chance that one of the important people they were cloned from needs a liver or something on down the line. With that amount of time and resources, surely more efficient (and humane) methods could be found to secure a compatable replacement part.
- It's the Illuminati, they have resources to burn. Plus the other possible uses for clones had yet to explored, not just potential organ donors but also infilitrators, cloned armies, slave labor. Those scientists were't just content to let the clones grow up, they were also "monitoring their interaction," performing all kinds of experiments. Clonus is described as a "self-supporting center of research" after all.
- Transplants might be more popular if there was no chance of rejection (clones being genetically identical to the progenitor, though I doubt it's that simple) and there was a larger supply of organs.
