== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Vandread]]'', this is revealed to be the underlying reason for the creation and maintenance of the sex-segregated planets of Meger and Talark where children are [[Designer Babies]] artificially engineered through mixed-cloning of the original colonists—majority of whom still remain secretly secured in cryo-stasis—as the colony leaders were unwilling to sacrifice any natural-born children to the organ-harvest fleets of Earth.
* In ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'' and ''[[To Aru Kagaku no Railgun]]'', Mikoto is cloned and the clones are mass-produced in their thousands to be killed in an experiment to increase Accelerator's power. The mild discomfort she gets by discovering she is cloned [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|pales to her reaction]] when she learns they're being killed off ''en masse'' for an experiment, and she breaks down upon her clones claiming that they are simply '180 000 yen (around 2000 dollars) lab animals'.
* Inverted in ''[[Franken Fran]]'': Fran generally considers both the original and the clones equally expendable as long as there is at least one copy of the person left (though she will try to keep all involved alive).
* Found in [[Afterschool Charisma]]. Rockswell thinks 'redundant' clones are unnecessary. After {{spoiler|his suicide attempt}}, Mozart becomes bitter when he realizes this. [[Clones Are People, Too|Shiro and Mr. Kuroe disagree]].
Line 20:
* Played straight in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': Rei has several dozen clones ready to swap her out if she dies or decides to not play along with her superiors' [[Assimilation Plot]]. All three of her superiors who know about it ([[The Chessmaster|Gendo]], [[Number Two|Fuyutsuki]], [[Evilutionary Biologist|Ritsuko]]) treat her like a tool and she lets them because she knows her replaceability too and [[Extreme Doormat|considers resistance useless]]. Really, only Shinji treats her nicely with genuine intentions - which later comes back to [[Apocalypse Maiden|bite everyone else in the ass]] [[The End of the World as We Know It|in a MAJOR way]].
* [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica]] has Nico during her combat with Kazumi against the Soujus.
