The rejection issues are swept with the same hand wave that includes
all the sublime biological technology on Urth. The old autarch's detail
on the way the analepict works includes a transfer of brain cells that
take up residence within the recipient; this along witht he physican at
the ziggurat's repeated use of a single donor implies a rejection
solution so robust that no prior preparation (other than the one dose)
and no regimen afterward is needed and the concern is passe. So indeed
Typhon would be free to chose his donor from all his slaves, not just
those who are part of his alleged clone cohort.

OK, got all that, and granted; but the point I was attempting to
address was not re: the notion of clones/'test tube (human) babies' or
a putative clone cohort (of which I know nothing!), but re: Typhon
possibly being <i>nonhuman</i>, which was someone else's hypothesis
entirely - was it Lee's, or are we all actually arguing with the blog
writer? I've kind of forgotten in the twists and turns of this
conversation.<br>
<br>
On this point only then (Typhon's possible nonhuman origin) - the
transfers/transplants mentioned in this post (Jeff's, the one quoted)
are all within the human species. In other words, these examples all
support my point and in fact if anything tell <i>against</i> the
notion that Typhon might be of unUrthly origin. <br>
<br>
I know it wasn't you (Jeff) that advanced the notion that Typhon might
not be human, and in fact we agree I think. <br>

Jonas is an example of a similar rejection-passe scenario: apparently
the hollow androids' remnant occupant-serving features include some
kind of physical as well as inductive interface to let the man operate
the limbs after trauma, that has been reversed to let the limbs operate
the man in the shepherd's case.
