* In [http://www.demando.net/ Meredith Bronwen Mallory]'s rather disturbing little ''[[Star Wars]]'' fan fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/913328/1/Deep_As_You_Go Deep As You Go]'', Darth Vader has utilized the cloning facilities at Kamino to clone his late wife Padmé. [[Wife Husbandry|This]] goes [[Replacement Goldfish|about as well]] as [[What Have I Become?|one would expect]].
{{quote|''"Are you an angel?" his voice is the sound of leaves brushing over a tombstone. This the awful question, because if he hadn't asked it, he would still love her. His eyes are so blue, so strange set into the roped scars on his head.''
''"I don't know," she says, and as soon as her voice sounds, she knows it is the wrong answer. The first time he asked, when she was five, she said she was whatever he wanted her to be. Her left arm had never mended right.'' }}
* [[The Virus|Kodachi Kuno]] of ''[[Divine Blood]]'' doesn't quite clone herself, but fertilizes her own eggs with genetic material gathered from psychics so that she can produces daughters that have superpowers and look like her. She then [[Mind Rape|eats their mindminds]] [[Fate Worse Than Death|which leaves fragments of their identity behind]] [[And I Must Scream|and their soul bound up with hers]] [[Powered by a Forsaken Child|so that she can utilize their life force to increase her personal power]] and be almost impossible to kill.
* In ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'', one of Shinji's first [[Batman Gambit]]s involves manipulating Gendo to kill the current Rei and activate one of her replacement clones. It isn't until after the scheme is complete that Shinji realises he ''got Rei killed'', and suffers a severe [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment until Rei reminds him that not only was it merely one of her bodies that was destroyed, her soul unharmed, but also that she agreed to do it, and Shinji calms down. He nevertheless resolves to never use someone in such a way, to deliberately kill them even if it can be fixed, because that's how his father thinks.
