Human population is rapidly replenished with new, reliable cloning techniques based on normal, genetically-fit humans. The global environment is restored, with temperatures returned to pre-warming figures and radioactivity totally cleared up. The United Human Federation launches the Mars Pioneer Project.

Breakthroughs in genetic engineering occur and designer baby technology becomes widespread. Clones before now were considered people, but by now their production has ceased in favour of blank-slate clones with optimized genetics but subservient limitations and few rights.

'''Breakthroughs in genetic engineering occur and designer-baby technology becomes widespread, giving the next generations of humans everything from genetically-tailored looks to longer lives with a vastly greater period of physical prime. Clones before this time were considered people, but by this time their production has ceased in favour of new purpose-made worker clones. These clones were engineered to be stronger and tougher than the 'natural' humans, but with subservience conditioning and few rights.'''

Nanomachines are developed and legalized through massive corporate lobbying from the emerging conglomerates, despite the voiced concerns of many scholars. Genetic enhancement technology is augmented with these new nanomachines. Humanity becomes a genetically-engineered species thanks to the newest genetic enhancements being able to not just affect babies, but also children and adults. In doing so, almost all genetic disease is eradicated and humanity in general becomes smarter, stronger, healthier, more beautiful, and longer-lived.

The human sphere of life has extended into the asteroid belt, where numerous stations have been established. The subservient blank-slate clones had become so great in number that 'natural' humanity was easily the minority. Fearing a clone revolt, the human rights of clones are recognized in a United Human Federation constitutional amendment which simultaneously prohibits the continuation of cloning. While the overall genetic integrity and traits of the clones are equal or superior to 'natural' humans, an unforeseen complication occurred as they began interbreeding which resulted in an irreversible gender imbalance of at least 5 women for every man. Total human population exceeds 10 billion people.

The subservient worker clones had become so great in number that 'natural' humanity was easily the minority. Fearing a clone revolt, the human rights of clones are recognized in a United Human Federation constitutional amendment which simultaneously prohibits the continuation of cloning and mandates the destruction of cloning technology. While combining the beauty, health, and longevity of the 'natural' humans with the endurance, resilience, and strength of the clones through interbreeding did result in an overall improvement for humanity, an unforeseen complication occurred which resulted in an irreversible gender imbalance of roughly 7 women for every 3 men. Total human population exceeds 10 billion people.'''
