I was reading an article in an old Dragon magazine called "A Fist full of Credits", by David "Zeb" Cook, which described several additional bits of equipment available to characters in the Frontier. But what i found interesting were two things, the first was the whole idea of Organic computers which could be grown, and could be implanted into a character. <br /><br />While this was interesting in itself reading further I came across information regarding cloning. Apparently Cloning in the Frontier not only is possible according to this article, but costs 1,000,000cr and takes 500 days to create a clone, and though very rare can be done at any advanced hospital. and for 50,000cr you can have your character's Experiental matrix analyzed allowing your characters memories and skills stored for implantation in your new clone. <br /><br />But more than this you can get regenerative medicine to grow a lost finger for 50,000cr, or a whole body part for 200,000cr. <br /><br />This information brings into question the level of technology of the Frontier. Cloning of this type is traditionally Ultra-tech which is beyond the level of what is available in the Frontier, but if you add cloning, and bap bins into what is possible in the Frontier then why are other technologies lagging so far behind?
