User blog comment:Aeratus/Guide to the Adam Jensen Clone Theory/@comment-29940722-20161114170435

A great post. To complement, there are questions and notes still open about being a clone.

- How did the memory extraction happen? It is certainly true, that Illuminati is familiar with him meddling with their plans(or at least the lower council), but as Cipra noted: Getting a personality package from a person took time. I don't know how long Marek Svobotka was alive after his incarceration, but it certainly wasn't a quick thing to do. There is also a hard time to imagine Adam willingly to spill out his private thoughts and private life to nearly anyone, especially very thoroughly.

- It is mentioned he suffered from a partial amnesia, but that could be a lie/a misunderstaning as well.

- On the first call after Aug Incident, Pritchard concedes he is at least a very convincing emulation of Jensen, which I'm a bit skeptic only his concrete intrusions in Illuminati areas would have been sufficient to create the same kind of chemistry in the call.

- Adam's DNA could have been only acquired after his interference with Illuminati. The two researchers burned the White Helix lab soon after the experiment which Adam survived.

I'm staying tuned to hear what comes out of this, though I really hope the story will benefit if he is truly a clone. The last thing I want is lazy writing.
