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.
