One real - story element is the idea of secret experiments. In the real world, there have been instances of unethical scientific research done in secrecy. Another is the marginalization of certain groups which is a common social issue.
I haven't really dug deep into it. Maybe it's got something to do with advanced cloning technology and the consequences it brings. But that's just a guess.
The cloned monkeys "Zhongzhong" and "Huahua" were still alive and healthy. The two monkeys were successfully cloned by Chinese scientists using the cloning technology. They were born on November 27th and eight days later, respectively. Although the success rate of the experiment needed to be improved, this research had made China an international leader in animal models of non-human primate diseases. It was also expected to accelerate the development of new drugs for brain diseases, immune deficiencies, tumors, and metabolism diseases. For now, researchers will continue to monitor their health and behavior.
The cruelty of cloned pets was controversial. Some people think that pet cloning is a cruel act because it involves a lot of animal experiments and may cause pain to animals. Pet cloning required a lot of time and money, and the success rate was not high. Even if the clone was successful, the cloned pet might have differences in personality and behavior, and might not be able to completely replicate the original pet. In addition, the lifespan and health of cloned pets were also controversial. Some people were worried that cloned animals were prone to diseases and premature aging. There were also some problems in the cloned pet market, such as the lack of technical standards and fraud in service contracts. However, there were also people who believed that cloned pets could bring comfort to the owner of the lost pet and ease the pain of death. In short, the cruelty of cloned pets varied from person to person and needed to be carefully considered.
One main element is the cloning itself. It's what drives the whole story. Another is Tyrone as the central figure around whom the cloning mystery revolves. Also, the community where it all takes place is an important element as it sets the context for the events and reactions to the cloning.
The inspiration might come from various science fiction concepts and the exploration of social issues. For example, the idea of cloning has been a popular topic in science fiction for a long time, and the movie could be using it to comment on society.
Well, the general premise of some sort of unethical experiment might be from the true story. Maybe the idea of people being used as test subjects without their knowledge.
The world's first cloned monkey was born in the United States on January 14, 2000. This cloned monkey was named Titla and was successfully cloned through embryo division. During the research, the researchers conducted 13 experiments and finally successfully split 107 monkey embryos into 368 embryos. However, only Tetra was lucky enough to be born 157 days after the embryo split. The appearance of cloned monkeys was of great significance for the study of human diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Since then, Chinese scientists have also successfully cloned a monkey using a cell clone, becoming the first country in the world to achieve this breakthrough.
