      I'm fed up with it. All these half arsed artificial pseudo philosophies. And most of them have been done to death. If the story had other elements that are primary to hold interest and the pseudo theory could even be leveraged to add to the story it can work but if the entire film is just a presentation of a miniscule idea that hasn't even been developed it drops to the floor with a thud. What's further ridiculous to this scene is that it's the mental backup, supposedly taken to protect against failure to remove the tumor, that actually kills him. Hopelessly contradictory. No actual story. Just a half arsed germ of a concept someone had down the pub one day and never developed it further.

      @@nihilistic7840 The mental backup is not a safeguard against failure of the procedure, it IS the procedure. And the question posed is: What is a human being? Is it an individual with intrinsic value to himself and others by virtue of his consciousness and experience and all the little unique bits and bobs and imperfections, or is it a cog in the machine, whose value depends on it usefulness and the functions it can perform?
      If the first, this was murder, if the second, he was saved. Forever and a day. But since it is both, this is at best a huge ethical dilemma. It is easy to see why you would want to preserve the mind of a genius, for the sake of his problem solving skills. And if he had a "brain tumor the size of an apple", copying it over into a clone was maybe the only way. His attempts at thwarting the process and the nurse's reluctance and grief illustrates the individualistic angle. If all he was, was his usefulness, he would rather die.
      Kind of like the people who refuse to let their organs be transplanted after they die, perhaps?

    RIP Mr Hauer, who played a legendary android that helped influence the cyberpunk genre by leaps and bounds. This story is a solid existential crisis for modern audiences, and it reminds me of a Twilight Zone/Outer Limits episode where they proclaimed they'd invented teleportation to allow instant travel between worlds/stars, but in fact all they'd done is clone people at their destination while executing the original body to prevent doubles.

It just seems there should be a little more in the making to top it off. That said, this was a great film.

    Very good. The story was concise and thought-provoking--like SF from 50 or 70 years ago. It asks questions (without actually asking them) that make us think about the limits of technology and our place in the universe. I miss stories like this.
    The acting was, obviously, of high calibre.
    The cinematography caught my attention, without taking me out of the story. I appreciate how it starts out with wider shots as we're introduced to the situation, and then slowly tightens in as the story becomes more personal--eventually being all close-ups of the 3 characters as they deal with the situation... only to pull back as the doctor returns to being clinical.
    Kudos to all involved.

    This is similar to an old episode of the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits. They had invented teleportation. What they didnt realize was it digitized you and created an exact copy (including all memories) at the other end as opposed to actually transporting you. By the time you realize what's really happening it's too late.

      @@edbouhl3100 Well the newly created copy would never know. But the creators of the technology would either know or, in the case of the episode I'm thinking of, they would figure it out and then have to wrestle with the ethics. In a different OL episode on this subject, an insider misuses the tech to create a copy of his wife after she gets badly injured and ends up in a deep coma. Surprise, she recovers and now there are two. What to do. I think that episode was called Think Like a Dinosaur.

    As someone who’s last name is Richards, I am honored that he used that name for his character. I have many good memories of watching Rutger Hauer play both good guy and bad guy. I always preferred seeing him in heroic roles, and I believe this qualifies as one. I’d forgotten he had passed; thank you for giving us all one last chance to see an actor who I’ve always considered “A-list”.

    In 'Blade Runner' Rutger Hauer played a replicant, or human replica, who said these iconic lines that he wrote into the script himself:
    "I've seen things you people would never believe.....All those moments will be lost...in time...like...tears in rain. Time to die."
    How fitting he plays a doctor treating a clone who now fears to lose "all those moments".
    Great film. Great actor. RIP Rutger.

I hope we can see more of DeObia in future productions that can showcase his talents as well.

      may be you were o drugs fella. A great % of these sci fi flicks are out dated somber; ominous; the ships are like WWII junk but can fly all over the Universe...(why not do like 60s movies that went minimalist with the ships and clothes? clothes are out dated; if there are aliens, they are gelatinous horrendous insects look a like; when show some kind of futuristic city is all junk; somber; low lighted and looks like an old factory from this era not from thousands of years after in other era and part of the Universe; or the cities and vibe are like those showed in the old Flas Gordon series; that was so dumb that there is no words. The technology is just minimal (but can have light speed ¿?) all look bad dirty poor lighting and somber; most look like decadents GI Joes; too much is based in the worst of this era; when there is a doctor; or scientist like in this case; well; like in the movie 12 monkeys...whoever can be one; most crews; or pilots or commanders are way too improvised and never will be that way; all seems like and look like an exodus; and a long etc. These directors cannot fly cannot dream; they make sci fi and cannot design a modern vessel; cannot dream with light and lightness; they only dream with somber and dark but even in these cases; the vessels out dated; the clothes out dated; the guns out dated; the reactions; too out dated; the scientists do not look like centered prepared persons; still think that all is based in wars or fights; what do we know about possible aliens? why to put Human feelings and actions? Yes; these directors cannot dream only copy sci fi like Alien the movie; or Blade runner or Star trek or similar.

Unethical sure but the advances hes making in his field are certainly unmatched.

So one could say that our body is just a vessel for our soul. But Mr. Freeman is questioning the fact that would it still be me if my soul was put into a different body.
