Better Living thru Cloning?

Young man, Thomas Steiner, awakens to find that he has died under unknown circumstances but has been "saved" through cloning. His mother is there when he awakes to assure him that all is now well and welcome him to his new life.

Thomas is not so sure. He seems to recall that he had a friend, Kazo, but his mother denies this. As we learn more about Thomas and his genetically enhanced life we begin to have doubts about the morality of what science might soon be able to do.

If you get worried when you hear about treatment centers that claim to be able to 'cure' homosexuality then this film will give you nightmares.

This was an interesting short and it's rare to see science fiction with a gay theme. Well worth the 27 minutes that it takes to see it.
