EH?!
Treatment document? haha.. No idea.
Now to just to recap my research over this assignment.
Research
" What does "posthuman" mean?
It describes a sentient being that started out as a human or as a mind with a human way of thinking - and then by use of technology changes into someone who is no longer human. Such posthuman beings do not exist currently, therefore any more detailed description of what they would look like or how they would think and behave is pure speculation."
www.posthuman.com
"The difference between the posthuman and other hypothetical sophisticated non-humans is that a posthuman was once a human, either in its lifetime or in the lifetimes of some or all of its direct ancestors. As such, a prerequisite for a posthuman is a transhuman, the point at which the human being begins surpassing his own limitations, but is still recognisable as a human person or similar."

I also got my idea for the Federal Bureau of Human Duplication from the Department of Justice's FBI in the US. You can see evidence of my inspiration in my logo design.

"The overwhelming scientific consensus is that genetic determinism is false. In coming to understand the ways in which genes operate, biologists have also become aware of the myriad ways in which the environment affects their "expression." The genetic contribution to the simplest physical traits, such as height and hair color, is significantly mediated by environmental factors (and possibly by stochastic events as well). And the genetic contribution to the traits we value most deeply, from intelligence to compassion, is conceded by even the most enthusiastic genetic researchers to be limited and indirect."

Kris Moyes, the director of the Presets' My People video clip also created clips for architecture in helsinki (heart it races), Wolf Mother (White unicorn) and Cut/Copy (Going nowhere). I like his work and the clonelike technique used in the presets video was my favourite. It's partly where I got the idea for this project.

Dark Angel was one of my favourite TV shows a few years back in the year 2000. It is another reason I liked the idea of post human and the exploration into cloneing and experimentation on human nature.
"Max was bio-engineered in a government lab, at a facility called Manticore, sometime around the turn of the 21st century located in Gillette, Wyoming. As with all of their creations (exception of Joshua), Max has a barcode on the back of her neck, with her identifying number sequence (332960013452). She is an X-5 model and is thus referred to as X5-452. Max and her unit, her "brothers and sisters," named themselves back at Manticore, and sometime after she escapes, she assumes the surname Guevara."

And finally, here are some still images from my final edit.
