    Great ethical question, terrible narrative execution.

    The question they considered, about whether or not a human being deserves to live when an exact copy exists, is a great thought experiment. Unfortunately, @Enrico Colantoni couldn't sell the emotional stakes like he needed to, and writing was horribly stilted and artificial. Would anyone really describe a living cubicle on a lunar base as someone's "chanbers?" Really?

    A Delightful Off-the-Wall treat

    One of The Outer Limits best. Ethical dilemmas follow man into space in the face of new technologies. Humankind always must pay a price for advancement in exploration, technology, medicine, etc. Sometimes everyone bears a portion of the cost. Other times it is a lone representative of our species.
