Ep 48 The Clone Club Martini: Celebrating Orphan Black’s Science, Sisterhood, and Identity

This episode dives into the world of Orphan Black, exploring its blend of science fiction, bioethics, and identity. We unpack themes of human cloning, genetic engineering, and bodily autonomy through the lens of the Clone Club — a community of clones navigating control, individuality, and sisterhood.

Paired with our Clone Club Martini, we discuss real-world concepts like mirror twins, human chimeras, gene therapy, eugenics, and weaponized infertility, linking the show’s storytelling to contemporary debates in genetics and ethics.

Perfect for fans of sci-fi, bioethics, and Tatiana Maslany’s groundbreaking performances.
