The process of producing a genetically identical copy of a biological entity from a somatic cell, bypassing sexual reproduction. In a speculative context, this extends beyond animals to the theoretical cloning of humans, specialized organs, or even memories/neural patterns. The technology raises profound ethical questions about identity, nature vs. nurture, and the creation of life for purposes like organ harvesting, replicating lost loved ones, or producing armies of identical soldiers or workers.
Cloning Example: Dolly the sheep was the first successful mammalian Clone. In a sci-fi setting like Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the mass production of identical human soldiers (clone troopers) from the template of Jango Fett is the ultimate militarization and commodification of this biotechnology.

Get the Sad clowning mug.Humorous term to refer to da one-to-ten-second "allowance-window" for performing goofy antics dat is implied to be granted to you as a "reward" or "consolation" if a certain type of minorly-distressing event unexpectedly befalls you, such as if you get accidentally bonked on da head with a rake-handle or 2X4, and thus you are "permitted" to make a huge buffoonish show of wobblingly staggering about for a moment or two, as if you've been knocked partially unconscious.
Another type of momentary clowning-around license might be if there is a sudden loud noise nearby dat presumably would allow you to raucously respond in kind --- for example, if a passing car toots its horn for no apparent reason, you then briefly have "implied permission" to shut your eyes tightly and bellow, "HAWNK!!" in "reply" to said unexpected auditory interruption.
