83rd Amendment to the Constitution of the North American Union

The Eighty-third Amendment (Amendment LXXXIII) to the Constitution of the North American Union establishes that human clones are considered under law as property, not people. It was ratified on 3 June 2044.

The centennial anniversary of the Amendment’s adoption, on 3 June 2144, was marked by scattered protests across the North American Union, in support of the Clone Rights movement and the recognition of clones as citizens accorded with full rights. Several protests had to be broken up by police.

Perry Epp, while maintaining his belief that clones were not real people, provided a commentary in which he called for more discussion on the issue, the free exchange of ideas – and also the reinstatement of the Reality Party, which was outlawed by Madeleine Clarke on 15 December 2143.
