    I thought that the opposition would be because he rejects essentialism as a scientist. It wasn’t Lenin’s special genetic formula that made him great and that a person is not their DNA.

    Instead, the scientist is arguing on essentialist grounds as if Lenin’s genes supposedly committed crimes. He needs to be reeducated twice. First in class relations, but second in a normal school all over again.

      Seriously. Imagine being a (purported) genetic scientist and believing that a clone would have the same opinions as the long-dead source of the DNA.
