Campaign slogan: “Genetically better”
HOLLYWOOD, CA – In a shocking turn of events that has left the nation reeling, a genetically engineered clone of a famous celebrity has announced their candidacy for the presidency of the United States. This unprecedented move has sparked intense debate and controversy, with supporters hailing it as a bold step towards a brighter future, while critics decry it as a dangerous and unethical violation of the natural order.
According to eyewitnesses, the clone, known only as “X,” made their dramatic entrance at a glitzy press conference held in the heart of Hollywood. Flanked by a team of scientists and legal experts, X took to the stage amidst a blaze of camera flashes and a cacophony of questions from the stunned reporters.
“My fellow Americans,” X began, their voice a perfect replica of their famous progenitor’s. “For too long, our nation has been held back by the limitations of natural biology. Today, we stand on the precipice of a new era, where the boundaries of human potential can be shattered through the power of genetic engineering.”
The crowd erupted into a frenzy of shouts and applause, with supporters waving placards emblazoned with X’s campaign slogan: “Genetically better.”
Dr. Alison Tanner, a renowned bioethicist, was among the experts present at the event. In an exclusive interview, she expressed grave concerns about the implications of X’s candidacy. “This is a Pandora’s box that we may never be able to close,” she warned. “Once we start engineering human beings for specific traits, where do we draw the line? What’s to stop others from creating designer babies to suit their own agendas?”
However, not everyone shares Dr. Tanner’s reservations. Ardent supporter and self-proclaimed “clone truther” Martin Kemp painted a very different picture. “X is the future, plain and simple,” he declared, his eyes gleaming with fervor. “With their superior intellect and physical perfection, they are the only candidate capable of leading us into a new golden age.”
As the campaign gains momentum, rumours and conspiracy theories have begun to swirl. Some claim that X is merely a pawn in a vast, shadowy agenda orchestrated by a cabal of powerful corporations and secret societies. Others insist that X is an extraterrestrial being, sent to Earth to guide humanity towards its next evolutionary leap.
