Isn't it strange

Feels like I'm lookin' in the mirror

What would people say

If only they knew that I was



Part of some geneticist's plan (plan-plan-plan)

Born to be a carbon copy man (man-man-man)

There in a petri dish late one night

They took a donor's body cell and fertilized a human egg and so I say



I think I'm a clone now

There's always two of me just a-hangin' around

I think I'm a clone now

'Cause every pair of genes is a hand-me-down
"Weird Al" Yankovic, I Think I'm a Clone Now
Yeah, I resulted to be a clone of myself from an alternative-future-imaginary-world or something like that. Listen, is this going to affect my welfare check?
Alan Moore, Tomorrow Stories
Tears... tears. Why am I crying? What... did this mean to me?
Rei Ayanami, Neon Genesis Evangelion
If I die, I can be replaced.
Rei Ayanami, Neon Genesis Evangelion

Han Solo: So what's it like being a clone?

Carib: About as you'd expect. It's the sort of secret that gets heavier with time and age.

Han Solo: Yeah. I can imagine.

Carib: Excuse me, Solo, but you can't possibly imagine it. Every time one of us leaves this valley it's with the knowledge that every outside contact puts our lives and those of our families at risk. The knowledge that all it will take will be one person suddenly looking at us with new eyes, and the whole carefully created soap bubble of the ever-so-close Devist family will collapse into the fire of hatred and rage and murder.
A clone of Baron Fel in Zahn's Vision of the Future
If we outlaw cloning, then only outlaws will have clones.
As long as you're around, I'll be nothing more than a mere shadow!

"These people you're copying are already superfluous. You're trafficking in excess."

"The issue is not excess but access. Others take away reproductive rights, I grant them!"
Aeon Flux and Trevor Goodchild.
Oh well, even if we all died tomorrow, there's still another batch of clones to take our place. C'est la vie...
floating robot head thingy, Dead Leaves

Everything I know is what I need to know,

everything I do has been done before.

Every sentence in my head

Someone else has said.
John Entwistle, "905"
You look in the mirror, but someone else looks back. You remember a life you never had, one that cannot be yours. You are the piece that does not fit, you don't belong in this game. The board has been knocked over, you shall be swept away...

Tagon: Kevyn and, um...Kevyn, do you have any suggestions for how I handle paying you? I mean, there are two of you now.

Timeclone!Kevyn: No. There is one of me, and one of him.
There's lots of him. Who'd miss this one?
My name is Jennifer Lucas. I'm not a factory part. I had toast for my breakfast. I wrote a letter to my mum. [...] I am Jennifer Lucas! I remember everything that happened in her entire life! Every birthday, every childhood illness. I feel everything she has ever felt, and more! I'm not a monster. I am me! Me! Me! Me! ME!
Jennifer Lucas' Ganger, Doctor Who

Dani: Stop fighting. I know you're too weak to beat me!

Danny: I'm not going to fight you! Every time I fight a clone they turn to goo!

(Dani looks down and sees she's starting to melt)

Danny: But you're not mindless, like the other clones. I don't want to fight you!

Dani: Then let my father have your morph DNA! So he can save me!

Danny: He's not going to save you! He's using you! You're nothing but a mess he's not gonna clean up!

Dani: You're LYING! (blasts him)
Danny Phantom being rather insensitive to his cousin/clone Danielle, Kindred Spirits

Nasdra Magrody: "While the loss of material is extremely taxing, as well as the many navy crews who have lost their lives.

Lyrax Pentigure: "Not to mention our clone troops."

Nasdra Magrody: "As I said, material, yes."
