That, whatever it is, ain’t human.
Can we call them Nipple Necks?
From the TV show Space: Above and Beyond - 1995
In Vitroes are artificially gestated humans, produced through genetic engineering. Originally, the Silicates were built to be humanity’s servants and soldiers but after they revolted the In Vitroes were developed to replace them as the new disposable underclass. Large numbers of In Vitroes were grown as shock troops for use in the AI War.
In Vitroes are created by mix-and-matching chromosomes and genetic sequences from dozens of donors to create optimal traits; they do not have “parents” who ever existed as distinct people. In Vitroes are easily identified by their protruding navel located on the back of the neck, rather than on the abdomen. Some In Vitroes from the same batch contain similar enough genetic material that they could be considered siblings, but they rarely meet. In Vitroes do not generally have “family” members – a fact that affected their morale and loyalty.
In Vitroes do not share social equality with the so-called “naturally born”. Literally removed (”born”) from their individual gestation tanks at the physical age of eighteen, they are educated swiftly and harshly to enable them to enter society with at least a nominal idea of how to comport themselves. They are derisively termed “tanks” by regular humans, which seems to be a double entendre, describing not only their method of birth but also their physical toughness, which is always greater than “naturals” and their disposable nature, the first to come in battle, the “tanks” that open the way for the infantry.
Due to their limited emotional development, their deployment in the AI War as troops was not as successful as the pioneers of the In Vitro program nor the military would have liked, as the In Vitro battalions had no emotional connection beyond the most basic to their country, planet or even race; this led to their racial reputation as “lazy” and “not caring for anything or anyone” (episode 1.01/1.02), which contributed to the prejudice against them from “naturals”. In Vitroes also seem to refer to themselves as “tanks” when with each other. Before its abolition, they were subject to indentured servitude (episode 1.05). There is still considerable racial segregation, resentment by normal humans (e.g. episodes 1.01, 1.06) and governmental abuse for morally dubious purposes (episode 1.13). Two main characters, Cooper Hawkes and T. C. McQueen, have to face all the ramifications of such a society from their perspective as In Vitroes.
My favorite scifi movie.
These things will be psychotic time bombs that could go postal on their masters at any time.
“whatever man cooks up will be without a soul, so it will be nothing but an empty vessel for pure evil to fill.”
Well put and that’s my understanding as well..
One of the reasons why God flooded the Earth.
Human beings created by humans, are by definition, property.
I have been pondering this for a long time. This I believe is the beginning of what will become “The Abomination that causes Desolation” as described in The Book of Revelation. This married with AGI.
prolly done decades ago, but today’s immoral tolerance is ripe for the tease
we need more folks to have that clarity
