Father’s goat
My father was a self-made man. It’s true. A modern style self-made man: He enucleated an egg cell from a donor, micro injected a nucleus from one of his own pluripotent stem cells, and implanted it in a psuedopregnant female goat. After gestation, he delivered, raised, and educated himself. Of course, he left his will to himself, increasing the sense of inheritance. Despite the risks involved, to this day he prides himself on his integrity, his compassion, and his ability to eat tin cans.
