And if they do are they kids like implanted right away. I mean having parents that have died like 1000 times cant lead to a healthly. Childhood |

Possibly we may have to consider that even on a genetic level immortal mercenary clones are modified to loose erroneous organs for combat in order to have reinforced bodies.
We may also have to consider hour the mercenary mind reacts to being of infomorphic orgin. How does the mind cope with jumping from body to body, then turning its attentions to supporting a child?
Also combat merc clones are near on 7 feet tall....
Even so This One gave up the chance to have children in order to serve his people as one of God's avenging angels. |

Don't you judge me. Judged. What? If some chick who has never even seen an immortal before suddenly wants to show her appreciation for saving her planet from being glassed, who am I to say no?
If anything, it would be rude to refuse the offer. |

Yeah just hop in to that leisure clone and get ready to go.
I certainly do miss my mortal life on Mehkios somewhat. A normal life would have been a wonder thing to live. |

I assume if you put together the scratch you could buy yourself a clone body with all the bits and pieces fully functional when you have a mind to retire. Might be a little tricky and expensive to get set up in a new permanent body, but if you got the money there's no way you're gonna be told no.
In theory, seems little reason for giving one's progeny an implant isn't impossible, but the ethical concerns do give one pause and I'm not too sure about the market for clone babies. Constantly dying aside, I imagine that there's little to differentiate the toll of an immortal mercenary parent would take compared to any other parent who is often away on business.
Granted, my perspective could mean I am mad as a hatter. |

Granted, my perspective could mean I am mad as a hatter. Thing is when doing this you would need to spend 9 months in the custom clone to manage that bodies systems.
Jumping out of that body over and over could have massively traumatic effects on the child. |

Suffice to say that I would highly recommend waiting till you are gonna retire before having kids, whether natural born or adopted or whatever. However, that's not a bad thing. Getting to enjoy the family life is something to fight for no matter how crazy the battles, labyrinthine the intrigue, or traumatizing the constant death. |

I have heard of a few capsuleers who have their own families, or had ones before coming a capsuleer. I do not see a probldn that would prohibit from an infomorph making children, not unless you are missing, equipment. But that can be fairly easily fixed by using a little ISK to buy yourself personalized clones. Biologically, there is no problem on having a child as an infomorph. If you can cope it psychologically, that is a whole different issue. I have seen how the sleeper implant can affect one's mind, and I have suffered some of its effects too.
However, I met a capsuleer family once who had a child and all of them seemed perfectly healthy for me, the kid was really smart, I even gave him my glove to show for his friends. So in the end, as long as you can handle the duties of a father/mother psychologically, you could have a child just as easily as a baseliner or a capsuleer(as a small note though, I would advise females against jumping out of their bodies if they are pregnant).

NOTE in no way does this merc promote or condone immortal infanticide just leaving it out there as an option thats all. No no no no no no, that is not how it works, don't you even know the basics of cybernetics and being an infomorph? The sleeper implant is not genetically inherited, it gets put into your brain which allows the instant conciousness transfer, technology doesn't magically inherit to a child simply because the parents are informorphs.
But as a sidenote, anyone could buy a clone for their baby and record their conciousness, and you could just wake your baby in a new clone if he comes problematic. However, that would involve a lot of pain and fear when you suddenly wake up in a body that isn't really yours, despite the fact that you just died. It would be a very traumatazing experience for the child.
Just, don't even try it, even if it would be technically feasible with soft clones. |

Heh, I wouldn't think child support would bother an immortal clone too much... after all; we do get rewarded handsomely for a well done contract.

Mortals call that 'Maternity Leave'
Anyway, I believe in having children the proper way: By accident, after a night of drinking and exercise with a pair of athletic Gallentean women.
EDIT@Medic 1879: Would our implants even work on kids? I suppose it's a comforting thought that any children we have could be forced to learn first-hand how the mortals live. Reminds me of an old story from Ancient Earth. |

Reminds me of an old story from Ancient Earth. They would have to be implanted with the technology at a later stage of their lives.
Also if im not mistaken at one point there were concerns about the first gen clones being unstable due to interfacing with sleeper tech/ sleeper infomorphs.... while the newer gen implants may protect us, what about a child of a clone solider? |

Do... Do we even have the proper organs to reproduce?
I wouldn't know, I still haven't gotten my armour off. And on that note, are we even designed to feel an emotion like love or something? I mean occasionally I'll see a bunch of clones checking out the only female on the War Barge, but I don't really think that counts.
That's like. Primal or something. |

That's like. Primal or something. That's what I was wondering im sure clone solders are optimised for combat thus any superfluous organs would be redundant in a combat clone and substitutes could well be added for great efficiency.
However custom clone bodies can have whatever organs you want in them, male mind could fill a female body, you could be whatever you wanted to be. |

I'm sure we have our organs. The feelings of sexual drive and the such during combat time might be lowered. Once in casual mode and out of the armor it is it's normal human sex drive. At least I assume so. |

Female clones do possess secondary sexual characteristics. We can explain this partly in terms of making sure that we're not having to cope with an overly unfamiliar distribution of mass, but that's only part of it.
Most of the reason for maintaining sexual dimorphism in clones is psychological, letting us feel more or less "ourselves" while we're riding around in bodies we will occupy for twenty minutes at the extreme outside. While having external sexual characteristics may not be mission-critical or even very helpful in and of itself, it does limit the strain of what is really a pretty alien experience.
That being the case, it is highly improbable that male clones in any empire have been neutered. Sterilized, yes; neutered, no. |

I wouldn't be so sure, the female clones certainly seem nicely endowed I the upper-regions However the manufacturers do seem to be steering towards less of a gender gap between clone bodies, I remember when earlier female clones were so sexualized it made it hard for users to walk properly. Plus the breast reduction can only have improved combat efficiency (for both genders hehe) If I remember correctly, the giant breasts & high-heels were a Gallente thing. Not that I'm complaining |

Sure the individual cells may be alive, but the "life" the body is experiencing is just it being remote controlled by a digital consciousness.
That's my take on the subject at least.
On a side note, it does raise a question: Were our individual clones alive before implants were applied? Or were they somehow grown while brain-dead? |

I doubht they were grown as it stands now biomass is a commodity which stand to reason that we could build clones in the same way nanites in nano hives build bullets tell the nanites what to do with materials and let them build its possible with this form of construction that the implant is built in rather than installed after
Its also the only way i can justify CRUs spawning us a few feet away from the device so we are built and simply activated, meaning the only thing that is needed to make us is biomass, nanites, and either the gear we use or the materials for it. i often find myself pondering stuff like this when iam on the battlefield and active in strange places wondering how did i get here. |

I'm sure removing the... organs of increase would take a lot of the fire out of clone soldiers. Testosterone is a good hormone for amping up an individual, removing that would be an unnecessary impediment. When the goal is having available hardened mercenaries who can fight and fight and fight, I imagine that neutering them would take away their... enthusiasm. |
