Attachment - Human DNA

Picture 2023 A.D. Into the future when our DNA code finally gets broken and can even be converted into digital data, like the 0’s and 1’s that our computers understand. What would life be like then? There are numerous possibilities. Some plain hilarious… and some plain destructive. Here is one such possibility presented in the form of an email message sent by a fictitious designer to his colleague many miles away. Read on…

--------------------------------------

Hi Pete,

Attached is the digital file of my DNA code (humancode.dna) for your use. I will not be able to come all the way down there this week, so I am sending you the copy of myself ;-) through this file. It would take care of your problem to complete the web design job before the end of this week.

You can create a replica of me (some call it Clone, but don't even mention that word) by taking this file to any DPCs (DNA Processing Centre) situated in your city. The file is sent as 'Read Only' to avoid any alterations of the digital code. DPC will convert the digital data into an analog copy of a live person exactly like me but with modifications, as I have changed some parts of the digital file before sending it to you.

Though you might find the attachment a little big in size, but I couldn't help it. I avoided a tempting way to ZIP the file and reduce the size but there is a possibility of error while compressing the data and again decompressing it. If (god forbid), there happens an error while uncompressing the code, my Replica might have arms coming out in place of legs and stomach may dangle outside his back… who knows?

Anyway, once you get my copy there and get it processed in living flesh, start with the work straight away. I have altered my DNA code in such a way that it will self-destruct within 5 days and will be interested to do only one thing... complete the design job, so please get on with it as soon as possible. I haven't changed the creativity or imagination levels so don't worry, you will get the quality from him (it), the same as you expect from me. My Replica will even have a Watermark appearing near his right ear to identify himself from me (although it IS me!).

As per the Cloning Law, Sec 82A, "all works created by any Clone remains the property of his original version or the person from whom it was engineered or generated, unless otherwise stated by the original person. A work created by a Clone shall be deemed as original, provided no attempts - successful or otherwise - has been made to alter the part of Clone which is useful in carrying the said job".

Thus states the law, so I am sending you my declaration that the work done by my Replica will be your property and that I have already been paid for this job.

Hope you are at ease now. My Replica, call it V2 (version 2) will be able to complete the task of designing your website so relax... and don’t forget to say Hi to your little Jimmy.

By the way, I will also send you the digital code of a small Labrador puppy, which I have it over here. My niece stays just 2 blocks away from your office and I would appreciate if you could convert the digital code into the living creature and hand it over to her. I had promised her to send one when she visited me this winter. Only this time, you will have to process the original code over there. It will be Control X/Control V (cut/paste) instead of Control C/Control V (copy/paste) like we are doing currently for my DNA code.

Bye and take care.
