: From what I understod, they kidnaped the REAL children, and replaced them
: with clones so the parents don't notice. That's why they are so bothered
: with ethics later in the book.

: The problems his, why wouldn't they use the clones for making Spartans? They
: could make them in numbers... Possible awnser: Maybe the clones are weaker
: because they are fast-grownt.

: Djof
: "Je me souviens"

Though not explicitly stated -- and as such, this is completely "non-canon" -- my intention was to have the clones be defective in some way; mental retardation, previously "undiagnosed" illness (Parkinson's, most likely), or other such defect. That's why they use the original kids, not the second generation dubs. ;D

As I say, though, we didn't come right out and say that either in the game or the novel, so that notion may be revised to something a trifle less, uh, dark.
