minus-squarechemical_cutthroat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·2 years agoDon’t worry, companies like 23andMe and Ancestry have been banking DNA records, so mimicking blood won’t be too hard, either.

minus-squareSpaceCowboy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoTwo seasons of stupid garbage followed by Season 3 which just ignored the garbage and made things right.
