	ILLEGAL BEINGS: HUMAN CLONES AND THE LAW
		Macintosh offers her replies to each of these notions, and in doing so, she plays, at least partially, into the hands of those whom she criticizes.
		Macintosh argues that the various laws were inspired by the five objections analyzed in the first part of the book (and proved false).
		Macintosh locates this legislation within the historical context of antimiscegenation legislation and maintains that in the same way that antimiscegenation laws tried to prevent the birth of mixed-race children, so as not to threaten racial segregation, anticloning laws have a similar effect.

		Macintosh clones (sometimes called Maclones) were computers made by a non-Apple manufacturer, using Apple Macintosh ROMs and system software.
		Mac clones were produced for nearly a decade and a half, spanning from 1985 to 1999.
		There were two eras of Macintosh clones: the unauthorized period, when clones were reverse engineered or built around ROMs, or logic boards removed from existing Macs; and the authorized period, when Apple approved vendors and authorized hardware designs.

	Macintosh clone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Macintosh clone is a personal computer made by a manufacturer other than Apple Computer, using (or compatible with) Apple Macintosh ROMs and system software.
		The Apple II and IBM PC computer lines were "cloned" by other manufacturers who had reverse-engineered the minimal amount of firmware in the computers' ROM chips and subsequently legally produced computers that would run the same software.
		The original Macintosh system software was a very large amount of complex code that embodied the Mac's entire set of APIs, including the use of the GUI and file system.

		The clone makers were supposed to contribute to Apple's salvation by selling Macs to markets that previously weren't touched by the Cupertino, Calif.-based company, but it hasn't happened that way.
		Apple, which sold nearly all the Macintoshes a year ago, was down to 69.8 percent in the first quarter of this year.
		The clone makers also want Apple to approve a new kind of Macintosh hardware design that uses off-the-shelf parts, instead of the proprietary scheme that's been in use since the Mac's introduction in 1984.

		Kerry Lynn Macintosh, an attorney with expertise in the area of law and technology, argues that the most common objections to cloning are false or exaggerated, inspiring laws that stigmatize human clones as subhuman and unworthy of existence.
		In Illegal Beings: Human Clones and the Law, Macintosh argues that opponents of human reproductive cloning are bigots, and she compares anti-cloning laws to anti-miscegenation laws that forbade fls and whites from marrying.
		A clone would be the genetic twin of the person from whom he or she was cloned.

		The Macintosh was introduced on January 22, 1984, with a famous Super Bowl commercial featuring a female athlete throwing a hammer through a giant image of a dictator ("Big Brother", vaguely reminiscent of the dominant computer maker at that time: IBM).
		In 2000, the Macintosh made a second fundamental change, this time in its operating system, by switching to the Mach and BSD Unix-based Mac OS X. Clones
		The strategy was successful; for years, several manufacturers created Macintosh clones, but they obtained their ROMs by actually purchasing one of Apple's Macintosh computers and removing from it the required parts, then installing those parts in the clone's case.

		As negotiations continue, they are being complicated by the fact that most of the decision-making power at Apple these days is in the hands of "minister without portfolio" Steve Jobs, a man known for making abrupt decisions that often reverse established policies.

		Both sides are expected to back away from their most extreme positions, but the demise of the Macintosh clone strategy and Apple's attempts to rewrite the processor contracts have caused IBM and Motorola to question what kind of relationship it can have with the leaderless company.
