The last three issues of ANW no longer make sense at all. How can she have clone degeneration if she's not a clone?

Alternate Universe. Laura was still Wolverine when the Villain Uprising occurred, meaning Logan never returned, so Adamantium Agenda didn't happen, and she never learned about this. Or in that particular universe Sarah DIDN'T use her own genetic material.
And it still doesn't rule out genetic damage as part of the IVF process.

Alternate Future. And Laura self-diagnosed herself with it. The Wolverines' healing powers switch off at certain times in the past.
Wow, That is a difficult to read mess. (Sigh) I am just repeating myself at this point.
Comic book science is not real world science. Comic book genetics is not real world genetics. Colleen Wing should not have that natural vibrantly red hair... also genetics can not account for portals from other dimensions of pure kinetic energy in their eyes, that is somehow stopped by ruby quartz. In this context, yes, the eye thing is a stupid excuse.
With the science of Laura's origin however they did a interesting thing, they defined their terms. She is not a clone, she is a genetic twin, which means genetically identical except they replaced the Y chromosome by doubling the existing X chromosome, people just call her clone for simplicity's sake.
Context is king.
X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!
what if the degeneration is because she has sarah's dna and logan's dna was attacking it. since marvel has clone degeneration as cells breaking down, logan attacking saras as the result of a flaw in her creation has some logic.
ill say it again this needs a wordy detailed arc showing her deal with this reveal and breaking down how she was made.
Let’s do a poll. What do people prefer? Female clone of Logan (with Sarah Kinney as surrogate) or IVF daughter of Logan and Sarah Kinney.

Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!
This explains why Laura looks so much like Sarah, but aside from that it doesn't really add anything to Laura's character at all. Laura already treat Logan like her father and has been doing so since ANW began. It will be interesting if this get's followed through by other writers or gets retconned later on.
Double post.

It was in the previous X-23 appreciation thread. He was referring to Liu's retcon of Laura sparing people in addition to Henry Sutter, but really it would apply to anything.
Here's what he said:
I haven't visited these boards in a long time, but this conversation drew me back in. Ambaryerno, you've got it all right. Laura's origin as told by Yost, Tan, Choi, Oback and me is the only version of those events. Any attempts to reimagine, change or retcon those stories should be ignored. I didn't mess with Barry Windsor-Smith's Weapon X story when I crafted Laura's origin, and I expect that same level of respect and care extended to Laura and me. So, rest assured, if it didn't happen in the original pages of Innocence Lost and Target X, it didn't happen at all.
Come to think about it the doctor she looking for in x23 is implied to have created gabby and the sisters using data from the x23 program, I think another reasion she's looking for her it to know the exact details of how she was made and invistagate this further, I doubt she'd take starks word as fact with checking it out.this identity crisis could play in to why she going by x23.
Also I wonder how gabby will react to this.
