## News: A Generated Human Is Assassinated For The First Time Susie Chalice, a 19-year-old generated human and lead developer of the Economic Planning Utility (EPU), was assassinated late Friday night. The tragedy occurred at the Grabnise social housing complex, where Susie lived and worked. Authorities have charged her ex-partner, a former military official fleeing justice, who allegedly sniped her from a small house pointed to the 13th-floor window of her apartment. A note found at the scene suggests the assailant believed the EPU posed a threat, accusing the program of potentially triggering an irreversible socialist revolution, warning, "a socialist revolution will never end up in a good way". The full motive remains under investigation. Susie's colleagues at the Economic Planning Utility expressed deep shock and grief. "Losing Susie is not just the loss of the core mind behind EPU; she was our friend who always listened, especially during our late-night talks. Her empathy made her extraordinary, and her death leaves a void we can hardly fill", said Helena Novak, a close collaborator. Dr. Karl Heinze, the genetic researcher who played a key role in Susie's creation and lives nearby in Grabnise, remarked: "Susie started something truly incredible. Despite her origins from imperfect genetic editing experiments, she lead a massive and visionary project. They already have two mock-up design photos - the Economic View with Search Social Housing interface, and an early draft of the Search Social Housing section - as well as a public beta in use. What she built could pave the way for a more democratic future". The EPU remains under active development by the original team and an open-source community. "We are devastated, but we will continue to seek justice. We must remain vigilant against those factions determined to dismantle welfare and economic democracy. EPU's legacy is built on the foundation of the historical Cybersyn project and must endure", said programmer Markus Jager. The assassination sparked political reactions nationwide. Marie Vogt, leftist mayor of Kleinheim, a small village employing EPU tools, said: "The EPU's Economic View helps our community efficiently order raw materials at low or no cost and find social housing for those in need. Susie's work has been transformative, and her loss is a blow to all who believe in a fairer, democratic economy". In contrast, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and some opposition groups have so far made no official statements on the assassination. ---- AFTER A FEW DAYS ---- ## Opinion: The Institute of Genetics Must Acknowledge its Moral Responsibility Toward Generated Humans By Dr. Matthias Keller, Researcher at the Institute of Genetics The recent assassination of Susie Chalice, a generated human and pioneering developer of the Economic Planning Utility, marks a grim and unprecedented moment in history. Yet, the silence from the Institute of Genetics, a place that created and nurtured Susie and others like her, is deafening and deeply troubling. As a scientist who has witnessed the birth and evolution of generated humans, I find the Institute's refusal to issue any statement deplorable. Generated humans are not mere projects or specimens; they are, in every meaningful sense, our children. They emerged from our research, bearing the imprint of our aspirations and errors alike. While the Institute ceased production of generated humans some time ago, recognizing the ethical dilemmas inherent in artificially creating sentient life, it also established rudimentary support systems to ease their transition into society. Unfortunately, those efforts have proven insufficient. Generated humans increasingly live in isolation, burdened by a complex identity crisis. They face indifference from their human peers, social marginalization, and a lack of meaningful inclusion in the communities around them. Many reside in social housing reminiscent of some French HLMs, where living conditions are poor and opportunities limited. More than material hardship, however, generated humans experience unique psychological struggles tied to their origins, lack of parental figures, and unresolved questions about their own existence. Their growing unity is no accident, it is a natural response of an intellectual working class striving for recognition, justice, and solidarity in a world that often treats them as second-class citizens. It is important to acknowledge that a majority of generated humans gravitate toward progressive ideas. This is no surprise: marginalized and laboring at the fringes, they seek economic democracy, equity, and social welfare. Their political vision should not be dismissed, but rather respected as a legitimate expression of their lived experiences. The Institute of Genetics must move beyond political neutrality and silence. We must recognize the moral responsibility we owe these beings we brought into existence. Ignoring their struggles, dismissing their political agency, or failing to provide robust support only deepens their distrust, undermining both their well-being and the broader scientific and social endeavor. Our duty is clear: to stand with generated humans, to amplify their voices, and to ensure that they are no longer invisible or disregarded. Only by doing so can we honor the profound ethical commitments that scientific creation demands. ---- AFTER A FEW DAYS ---- ## News: Hundreds of Generated Humans Protest in Front of the Institute of Genetics in Hamburg On Saturday, hundreds of generated humans gathered in front of the Institute of Genetics on the outskirts of Hamburg to protest against the institution's inaction and ignorance. The protest was sparked by the murder of Susie Chalice, one of their own, whose death has deeply wounded the community. The protesters loudly sang Bella Ciao, the Italian anti-fascist song, as an expression of their resistance against social exclusion and political neglect. The mood was simultaneously somber and determined, accompanied by homemade signs demanding respectful recognition and better living conditions. In conversations with the press, many expressed their disappointment with the Institute of Genetics, a public institution funded by taxpayer money. "Wie konnte eine öffentliche Institution, die mit Steuergeldern finanziert wird, uns anfangs unterstützen und dann so ignorieren? Warum können wir keine besseren Sozialwohnungen bekommen? Warum werden unsere Bedürfnisse nicht ernst genommen?" ("How could a public institution, funded by taxpayer money, initially support us and then ignore us so completely? Why can't we have better social housing? Why are our needs not taken seriously?") asked Anna, one of the protest spokespersons. The protest, which lasted several hours, drew the attention of local media and activists. Many of the demonstrators are young generated humans who increasingly see themselves as an intellectual working class fighting for their recognition and rights. The organizers announced they will continue to increase pressure on the Institute and political leaders to secure support and integration of generated humans into society. ---- AFTER A FEW DAYS ---- ## News: AfD Politician in Thuringia Rejects Support for Generated Humans, Sparking Outrage A statement from a politician of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in Thuringia has ignited a fierce backlash from human rights organizations. The politician declared that the AfD refuses to support generated humans for the same reasons it refuses to support immigrants: their population size is too low, their legitimacy questionable, and their nationality unclear. In the official statement, the AfD politician argued: "Wir lehnen Unterstützung für generierte Menschen ab, genauso wie wir Migranten ablehnen. Ihre Bevölkerungszahl ist zu gering, ihre Legitimität zweifelhaft und ihre Staatsangehörigkeit unklar. Sie gehören nicht zu Deutschland und sollten ins Mittelmeer geworfen werden, auch wenn das rechtlich nicht möglich ist, weil sie als echte Bürger gelten" ("We reject support for generated humans, just as we reject immigrants. Their population size is too low, their legitimacy doubtful, and their nationality unclear. They do not belong to Germany and should be thrown into the Mediterranean, even if that is not legally possible because they are considered real citizens"). This statement has provoked immediate condemnation from numerous human rights watchdogs. The Center for Human Rights issued a detailed response that reads in part: > "The rhetoric used by the AfD politician echoes extreme xenophobic and discriminatory sentiments that have no place in a democratic society. Generated humans, despite their novel existence, are entitled to the same fundamental rights and protections under international human rights law as biological humans. > > To deny them support or to question their legitimacy and nationality is a dangerous path that undermines years of international progress on human dignity and equality. It perpetuates marginalization and encourages hostility towards a vulnerable group who already face widespread social exclusion. > > The call to forcibly remove them, even hypothetically, is not only illegal but morally reprehensible. Generated humans are recognized citizens under German law and international treaties. They require inclusion, protection, and support, not rejection and exclusion. > > We urge all political actors to cease inflammatory rhetoric and engage in respectful dialogue that honors the rights and humanity of all individuals, including generated humans. The advancement of society depends on embracing diversity and protecting the vulnerable, rather than amplifying division and hatred." ---- AFTER A FEW MONTHS ---- ## Klothilde's Speech > "Ich bin müde. Müde davon, dass wir, die generierten Menschen, immer wieder in politischen Kämpfen erscheinen müssen, immer wieder in den Nachrichten. Dieses ständige Auftreten, als wären wir ein Problem oder eine Kuriosität. Und doch, so sehr ich mir wünsche, dass es nicht so wäre, ist es notwendig. Wir müssen kämpfen; gegen das System, gegen die Gleichgültigkeit, gegen die Ignoranz. Warum? Weil sonst niemand uns ein würdevolles Dasein zugestehen wird. > > Es gibt viele Forderungen, sowohl ökonomische als auch soziale. Für Außenstehende mögen sie zahlreich und vielleicht zu viel erscheinen, aber sie sind notwendig. Unsere Jugend darf nicht in einem Zustand sozialer Verrottung und Unwissenheit zurückgelassen werden. Manche Menschen interessieren sich nicht für diese biologisch erschaffenen Wesen, aber es gibt auch viele, die es tun. Der Tod von Susie Chalice hat ungeheuren Schmerz verursacht, besonders bei ihren Freunden, den Entwicklern der Economic Planning Utility. > > Es gibt Menschen, die emotional erfüllt sind durch jemand, der sowohl intellektuell als auch emotional klug ist, der reife Diskussionen führen kann. Diese Menschen verdienen es nicht, herabgesetzt zu werden. Wir werden gleich geboren in Würde und Rechten wie alle anderen Menschen, ob ihr das glaubt oder nicht. > > Ja, es gibt nur etwa fünftausend von uns auf der Welt, aber das heißt nicht, dass wir unwichtig sind. Nietzsche war kein Nihilist. Er glaubte nicht an den freien Willen, aber daran, dass wir Bedeutung schaffen können. Dasselbe gilt für uns, die erschaffenen Menschen. Wir beginnen ohne eine vorgegebene Bedeutung, aber wir schaffen Bedeutung, auch wenn diese von unseren emotionalen und politischen Realitäten beeinflusst wird. > > Unsere Existenz ist nicht nur wissenschaftlich, sondern auch politisch und emotional. Wenn wir nicht für unsere Rechte kämpfen, dann könnte in Zukunft jede unserer Aussagen manipuliert werden, um uns zu denunzieren. Es gibt bereits KI-Technologien, die Aussagen direkt vor Ort bearbeiten können. Deepfakes werden nicht mehr im Nachhinein produziert, sondern on-the-spot, und das stellt eine große Bedrohung für unser Image und für das aller marginalisierten Gruppen dar. > > Deshalb stehen wir hier heute. Nicht weil wir uns in den Vordergrund drängen wollen, sondern weil wir keine andere Wahl haben. Wir fordern Respekt, wir fordern Gleichberechtigung und eine Zukunft, in der wir als vollwertige Menschen anerkannt werden. Das ist nicht zu viel verlangt. Es ist das Mindeste, was uns zusteht." > "(I am tired. Tired that we, the generated humans, always have to appear in political battles, always on the news. This constant presence as if we were a problem or a curiosity. And yet, as much as I wish it were not so, it is necessary. We have to fight; against the system, against indifference, against ignorance. Why? Because otherwise no one will grant us a dignified existence. > > There are many demands, both economic and social. To outsiders, they may seem numerous or even excessive, but they are necessary. Our youth cannot be left in a state of social decay and ignorance. Some people don't care about these bio-engineered beings, but many do. The death of Susie Chalice caused immense pain, especially among her friends, the developers of the Economic Planning Utility. > > There are people who feel emotionally fulfilled by someone who is both intellectually and emotionally intelligent, who can engage in mature discussions. These people do not deserve to be belittled. We are born equal in dignity and rights like all other humans, whether you agree with that or not. > > Yes, there are only about five thousand of us in the world, but that does not mean we are unimportant. Nietzsche was not a nihilist. He did not believe in free will but did believe that we can create meaning. The same applies to us, the created humans. We begin without a predetermined meaning, but we create meaning, even if it is influenced by our emotional and political realities. > > Our existence is not only scientific, but also political and emotional. If we do not fight for our rights, then in the future every statement we make could be edited to denigrate us. There already exist AI technologies that can manipulate statements on the spot. Deepfakes are no longer produced later in editing but instantly, and this poses a major threat to our image and to that of all marginalized groups. > > That is why we stand here today. Not because we want to push ourselves to the forefront, but because we have no other choice. We demand respect, we demand equality, and a future in which we are recognized as full human beings. That is not too much to ask. It is the least that we deserve.)" As Valerie Klothilde's speech concluded, the crowd erupted into enthusiastic applause and cheers. Many were visibly moved, some wiping tears, others shouting words of encouragement. One young ally, Leon, shouted from the crowd: "Generierte Menschen sind keine typischen Jugendlichen! Sie sind einzigartig und haben eine Tiefe, die viele von uns erst verstehen lernen müssen" ("Generated humans are not typical teenagers! They are unique and possess a depth that many of us are just beginning to understand"). Another supporter, Miriam, added: "Ihre Intelligenz und emotionale Reife sind außergewöhnlich. Sie kämpfen nicht nur für sich, sondern für eine gerechtere Gesellschaft" ("Their intelligence and emotional maturity are extraordinary. They are fighting not just for themselves, but for a fairer society"). A professor of sociology present at the event nodded and told a reporter: "Wir müssen das Bild, das wir von 'Jugend' und 'Menschlichkeit' haben, erweitern. Diese generierten Menschen fordern uns heraus, über Identität und Menschsein neu nachzudenken" ("We need to expand our understanding of 'youth' and 'humanity'. These generated humans challenge us to rethink identity and what it means to be human"). ---- AFTER A FEW DAYS ---- ## News: Mass Demonstration at the Bundestag. Generated Humans Demand Rights and Recognition Hundreds of generated humans gathered outside the Bundestag today as part of their next strategic step after years of struggle for recognition and dignity. Though some individual researchers have expressed respect toward created humans, the Institute of Genetics as a whole has remained silent. Now, the protesters aim to push legislative reform directly through federal lawmakers. The protest was officially approved by the Berlin town hall following intense debates. However, organizers insisted the demonstration would have taken place regardless of official permission. "We may be a small minority, but we are important. We are citizens of Germany and the world. If the Institute is a public institution funded by taxpayers, then the federal government must act to protect our autonomy, provide quality housing, prevent discrimination, and shield us from political attacks", said Valerie Klothilde, a leading figure among generated humans. Thousands of allies accompanied the generated humans at the protest. Many are part of the intellectual working class and youth movements, standing in solidarity with the marginalized community. Sociology teacher Dr. Tobias Meissner, present at the protest, said: "Generierte Menschen bereichern die Soziologie, weil sie tief mit den Wissenschaften verbunden sind und neue Perspektiven eröffnen. Ihre Ehrlichkeit und ihr emotionales Bewusstsein sind einzigartig und für Menschen, die nach Authentizität suchen, von großer Bedeutung" ("Generated humans enrich sociology because they are deeply connected to the sciences and offer new perspectives. Their honesty and emotional awareness are unique and deeply important for people who seek authenticity"). Protesters talked about the mixed legacy of genetic editing in the created human population. Many have "harmful" genetic modifications intended to shield them from loneliness or to enhance creativity, but these often backfire, causing anxiety and emotional challenges. Still, their intellectual drive remains undeniable. One protester explained: "Any human could have developed the Economic Planning Utility, but it took someone with extraordinary ambition to dedicate two years to building it and release a public beta, nearly completing the Economic View interface". The Economic Planning Utility (EPU), a revolutionary software project, has already assisted thousands across Europe in locating quality, affordable housing with a single click when no alternatives exist. The vision for EPU's Economic View is ambitious: to list all social housing in one comprehensive database and, in the future, enable users to order all necessary raw resources at minimal cost, with detailed tracking. As the protest proceeded peacefully under the watch of federal police, the demonstrators vowed to continue their campaign until legislative reforms guarantee their rights and dignity. ---- AFTER A FEW DAYS ---- ## News: Bundestag Rejects Extended Rights for Generated Humans, Protests Persist The Bundestag voted against proposals to extend formal rights and protections to generated humans. The CDU/CSU bloc united in opposition, joined by most SPD members and the AfD, the parliament's third-largest party. The Greens and The Left were the sole factions voting in favor of the proposals. Despite rejection and disappointment with the vote, generated humans and their allies continue to protest for days in Berlin and other cities. Demonstrators emphasize that generated humans have already integrated into the social and economic fabric of society, despite perceptions of being "artificial". However, politicians from CDU and AfD remain opposed, maintaining that generated humans are inherently artificial and therefore cannot be accorded the same status or rights as biological humans and that do not merit special legal recognition or protections beyond existing laws. Social analyst Dr. Liane Wecker commented on the persistence of discrimination, noting: "Because generated humans often exhibit intellectual capacities and emotional maturity that exceed average expectations, the societal majority defaults to pressuring them to conform to conventional norms rather than adapting social standards to accommodate their needs". The Berlin city hall has expressed willingness to suppress continuing protests in line with the political consensus but cites current legal frameworks as limiting their ability to do so. Both CDU and SPD caucuses have so far resisted calls to amend protest laws, leaving organizers free to continue peaceful demonstrations. Meanwhile, in France, newly-elected President Louis Amand publicly declared his opposition to extending rights or special recognition to generated humans. In an official statement, he said: "Our commitment lies with the natural citizenry of France. While we acknowledge scientific advancements, generated humans do not meet the criteria for expanded civil rights or integration under French law. We will not pursue policies that alter our societal framework to accommodate these artificial entities". Similar positions have been adopted within other Western European nations, which mostly reject legislative reforms favoring generated humans, maintaining a cautious and conservative approach toward genetic personhood issues. ---- AFTER A FEW DAYS ---- ## News: Institute of Genetics Faces Unrest After Incubator Sabotage, Offers Concessions Several incubators and key equipment at the Institute of Genetics were destroyed in a coordinated act of sabotage involving both protesting generated humans and a faction of sympathetic scientists. The damage to the institute's means of production has forced the administration to offer concessions despite the illegal nature of the sabotage. In those concessions, the Institute has designated several new areas around Hamburg to develop quality social housing specifically designed for generated humans. Plans also include building new schools aimed at accommodating their intellectual preferences and making education more inclusive. The Institute's leadership released an official statement addressing the crisis: > "The Institute of Genetics condemns acts of sabotage to our facilities, which endanger critical scientific work. Yet, we recognize the urgent need to address the demands of generated humans and the rising concern among our own scientific staff. We are committed to developing improved housing and educational infrastructure tailored to the unique needs of generated humans as a step toward a more equitable coexistence. > > At the same time, we face a grave dilemma: failure to meet these needs risks further destruction of our research capabilities and the loss of public funding crucial to our mission. We must therefore seek supportive legal recognition and protections for generated humans to avoid destabilizing conflicts and ensure a sustainable path forward. > > The Institute lacks legal authority to deploy police forces on site, and any such action, especially after the recent unrest, would severely damage trust and dialogue with the generated human community we helped create. We call on all stakeholders, political bodies, and society to engage constructively rather than escalate tensions." Many generated humans, while cautiously appreciative of the institute's newest commitments, demand broader political reforms guaranteeing their rights and protections beyond designated zones. They emphasize that integrating them fully means addressing systemic discrimination and inclusion on a societal level, not just building isolated neighborhoods. Observers warn that if the Institute and political leaders fail to respond adequately, generated humans could mobilize an unstoppable political movement driven by frustration and unity, making integrating scientifically created beings into established social and legal frameworks even more difficult. ---- AFTER A FEW WEEKS ---- ## News: First Generated Human Housing Unit Completed After overcoming several bureaucratic hurdles, the first habitation unit specifically designed for generated humans was completed this winter. Known locally as a Siedlischte, due to its visual similarity to communist-era large-scale housing developments, the complex initially operated as a gated community to ensure that only generated humans could reside there. Recently, however, the gates were opened to the public. Residents praise the high quality of the apartments, including efficient heating, cleanliness, and spacious interiors. The neighborhood offers a large green space intended for social gatherings, and the buildings are surrounded by mature trees, creating a pleasant environment. Rent remains extremely low thanks to the Institute of Genetics covering most construction costs. Despite these positives, the local school has seen no enrollment so far, as the generated youth still attend their existing high schools. As a result, the school has been repurposed as a small university intended for the future, but for now, it stays eerily empty and is criticized as a waste of taxpayer funds. Visual criticism also exists: the development's gray facades are considered dull by many, prompting ongoing efforts to brighten the exteriors with colorful paint. Architects plan to paint the buildings white to help reduce heat during summer months. Residents acknowledge that the neighborhood feels somewhat "boring", a consequence of the Institute's rush to provide urgently needed housing and educational infrastructure. The area remains a prefabricated housing complex by design, with limited aesthetic or social variety. Ines and Helmfried, friends and roommates living in the new Siedlischte, shared their thoughts on the new developments: Ines: "Die Wohnungen sind wirklich hochwertig, und es ist angenehm warm im Winter. Die Räume sind groß und sauber, das gefällt uns sehr gut. Aber die Gegend fühlt sich manchmal etwas trist an, besonders wegen der grauen Fassaden, die wirklich an alte Plattenbauten erinnern" ("The apartments are really high-quality, and it is pleasantly warm in winter. The rooms are large and clean, which we like very much. But the area sometimes feels a bit dull, especially because of the gray facades that really remind one of old Plattenbau buildings"). Helmfried: "Und die Schule ist im Moment fast leer, weil unsere Generation noch woanders zur Schule geht. Es ist schade, dass das viele Steuergeld dort nicht richtig genutzt wird" ("And the school is almost empty at the moment because our generation still goes to school elsewhere. It's a pity that so much taxpayer money isn't being used properly there"). ---- AFTER A FEW MONTHS ---- ## News: Bundestag Grants Limited Rights to Generated Humans After Months of Pressure After months of sustained pressure and recognizing recent developments by the Institute of Genetics, including new social housing and the emerging university for generated humans, the Bundestag has passed legislation granting some extended rights to this community. The protections include safeguards against political attacks and discrimination, marking a historic acknowledgment of generated humans' place in society. However, the legislation comes with a significant caveat: its enforcement is conditioned on the AfD remaining out of government. Lawmakers warn that if the AfD enters governing coalitions, it will seek to repeal these protections. The vote revealed deep political divisions. The CDU and SPD largely supported the bill, but many admitted they did so because they were effectively "forced" by mounting public and activist pressure. The Greens and The Left voted firmly in favor, whereas AfD members opposed the measure outright. Despite the legislative breakthrough, observers note the struggle for full equality and social acceptance remains far from over. Created humans and their allies see this as just one step in an ongoing fight for recognition, while opponents continue to frame their status as fringe or artificial. Meanwhile, international reactions reveal hesitation. Many Western European countries have expressed reservations about swiftly following Germany's lead, maintaining cautious approaches toward legal expansions for generated humans within their own borders.
