 The Writers and Creators of the Series O Clone (The Clone)

The series O Clon was one of the greatest and most complex stories created by Gloria Perez, a Brazilian writer, in the modern era. O Clon is a fictional story that describes how a scientist decides to create a clone from another human being. The story incorporates ethics, morality, religion, and culture from different countries. It is one of the most impressive stories that also discusses individuality and distinctness. The story focuses on a pair of male identical twins. The identical twins are different despite looking very similar. The story describes that each twin is different and unique having his own traits and personalities.

After a plane accident, one of the twins does not survive. To this, a scientist who was related to the twin, can not live with the idea that his favorite twin of the two twins had died. The scientist decides to clone the deceased twin and use science for his own personal gain. At first the scientist states that the reason for his clone experiment was to benefit humanity, yet with time the series shows that he has ulterior and egoistic motives. 

A clone is created based on the cells of one of the twins. The clone is used to create a clone baby and after being born is hidden to see how the experiment progresses. The series asks important questions concerning if such experiment would be ethical and moral. The series describes the need to have healthy skepticism of scientific innovations and discoveries. There are significant questions of if the clone has a soul, is human, or if it understands morality. While the clone grows, there is another dynamic to the story. The story is set in Brazil representing democratic republics and freedom. (The Spanish version is set in the US. The series was first dubbed in other languages and later adapted and released in other nations). The twins were from Brazil. The story also includes Jade, the female protagonist, who is born in Morocco and instructed in the Muslim religion. Jade does not want to be Muslim and instead wants to be autonomous and American. (This is because she does not agree with polygamy and arranged marriages.) She is married to Said who is arrogant, materialistic, and petty. (Jade's uncle, Ali, is positive and not evil, yet had decided to favor the arranged marriage.) 

Jade tries to live her life without drawing too much attention from her husband and tries to be independent from Said. To this Said notices the rebuffs and indifference and decides to marry two other women to spark Jade's envy. Instead of envying the new wives, Jade is relieved that she does no have to focus her attention on Said because he now has other wives. Jade does not care and remains indifferent to Said. Jade's independent character and longing to be free from the arranged marriage allows her to be patient and hopeful of escaping machismo non-complementarianism for America. Jade leaves to America and falls in love with one of the twins who is humble, caring, and positive. Longing for democracy and freedom, Jade appreciates the freedom in America. (There have been news stories of women who fled Islam in the 90s and 2000s for democratic nations since women can not work, get an education, drive, or go to the store by themselves in some stringent Muslim countries. They also do not see women in a complementarian manner.) The clone grows up, falls in love with Jade, envies, covets, and tries to take Jade away from the living twin. Jade decides for the human being over the clone. The story describes the beauty of freedom, autonomy, having independence, and the importance of morality while there is uniqueness and authenticity in each human being. The story is one of the most unique stories of the past century and helps us see the beauty of autonomy.
