====Security-relevant aspects====
The TCTF is aware that this technology can generate false traces but underestimates it as a purely theoretical threat. The tech is restricted nonetheless to please WCG's worries of an over-growing world population.
Highly organized criminals will use bioprinting to setup fake DNA traces alongside of false fingerprints. One day it will be even possible to fake corpses. With the years the fakes will become virtually indistinguishable from original bodies. A legal application is probably only reasonable for witness protection programs.
The GATC organization experiments with faking corpses to save their assets against lethal threads and then enabling them a new life. '''Initially GATC intended to use this tech only to provide their wounded soldiers with bio-prostheses.'''
The first candidate profiting from project "Spare" as in "spare part" is likely TCTF Commander Griffin. He is thought to be very high on the Syndicate's kill list. Griffin is found to have hid away access codes for WCG "puppets". Back then when Griffin was still with Blackstars there was an a lethal disagreement withing the GATC administration. The question was whether it was acceptable to brainwash certain politician to sabotage the establishment of WCG. Those defying the sabotage were taken out one by one. But Griffin silently snatched the access codes and killed the research team responsible for the WCG "puppet program". At the same time GATC' military division, Blackstars, declared themselves as a new, independent mercenary group. The remaining GATC administration and Blackstars still work together at some point as their goal that they still agree on is to re-establish the United States of America. Their relationship is to be best described as an obligate symbiosis, neither of them can survive without the other.
"Spares" are products of cutting edge engineering and skillful craftsmanship. So-called [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5110476/ cinematic renders] of highly detailed full-body scans provide the anatomic blueprint for the corpse. Bioprinting techniques then reconstruct the body. Typical information used to identify persons are the finger prints, dentition and DNA. With the improvements of medical scans "Spare" also need to fake other traits especially signs of aging: bone grow pattern, bone attrition, atherosclerosis, scars and other superficial damage and skin marks, implantation of prostheses the natural person also had.
Spares can be identified as such by missing certain traits. Concentrations of isotopes, toxins, and the telomere length are rather difficult or expensive to reproduce.
In theory a perfectly, newly produced "Spare" can also serve as fullbody transplant for a brain...
