same crime in 5 different cities, this made me wonder:
If, in Shadowrun, cloning humans is possible (and carried out), and a
couple of clones committed crimes at the same time in different places
and were caught, would the authorities be able to get the clones
convicted? After all, their DNA would be the same (I guess), and they
can't be forced to tell the truth by magical means under UCAS law, so if
they kept silent they couldn't incriminate each other and there would a
reasonable doubt that a specific clone committed the crime in question.
Comments anyone?
