** {{spoiler|Recent chapters seem to confirm this; or at least imply it as strongly as possible without actually saying it.}}
** Interestingly, it isn't his creation of life in the first place that's portrayed as being objectively "wrong", but his behaving as if he has the authority to do with that life as he pleases that is wrong.

** One of them is nice, and rather [[The Woobie|woobie-ish]]. {{spoiler|She doesn't last long.}}

Line 55:
* Urtho, Mage of Silence (from the [[Mercedes Lackey]] book The Black Gryphon) actually does this quite well; his creations love him, and honor him long past his death.
* In the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' saga, in the second set of novels ("Legends," I think), Raistlin tries to create life in his tower lab. It's not a very big point in the book, and he's not very successful, but there are pitiful, slithery things in the tower that he created. This is probably done to illustrate his evilness and his ambition--the major plot of the trilogy is that he's trying to become a god, after all.

* The Greeed in ''[[Kamen Rider OOO]]'' were created 800 years ago by human scientists out of human desire forged into Medals. They were just non-sentient entities until the humans thought it was a bright idea to destroy one of each of their Core Medals, which caused them to go out of control and try to devour everything in their path to fill the void it left.
* The second episode of the first season of [[Fringe]] is all about immoral attempts to create humans in labs. One such created human is active, and [[Our Vampires Are Different|needs to consume parts of human brains to stay young]]. The episode ends with [[An Aesop]] where the main scientist guy babbles about how we scientists must always remember the boundary between our domain and God´s, no matter how easy it is to forget.

* The game ''[[Promethean: The Created]]'', loosely based on ''Frankenstein''. Each of the major lineages of Prometheans was created because somebody started channeling the Divine Fire and decided to create life, either for purposes of companionship, servitude, just rule, an idea of what was happening on "the other side," or [[For Science!|just plain because]]. Every promethean is essentially a walking [[Came Back Wrong]] on many levels. Humans instinctively hate them, they rot the environment, and are prone to cause destruction. They have to earn a [[Soul]] and become fully human to end the karmic pain from merely ''existing''.
* In ''[[
* The [[Eberron]] Campaign Setting has artificial life in the form of living constructs called warforged. It's unlikely their creators ever intended to create truly sapient life, though.
Line 81:
* There are two forms of this in [[Edelweiss]]. The first is apparently not ''that'' big of a deal, creating plants spontaneously. The second is the extremely difficult task of creating a homunculus. {{spoiler|One of the heroines is a homunculus created accidentally in an attempt to revive a girl who died. She [[Came Back Wrong]], but in a good way.}}
* According to the characters of the first [[Mana Khemia]], alchemy is a science (as opposed to black magic) because it can't be used to create life. {{spoiler|[[The Reveal|Turns]] [[Artificial Human|out]] [[I Am Who?|it]] [[Tomato in
* ''[[Geneforge]]'' is all over this, since your [[Mons]] come from genetic engineering. The relationship between [[Slave Race|serviles]] and humans is repeatedly paralleled to institutionalizes slavery in America (albeit with an open race war starting in the third game.) This can even work its way into gameplay--you might [[Video Game Caring Potential|find yourself unwilling]] to make a [[Olympus Mons|drakon]] if the MP requirement means you'll have to dissolve that [[Mascot Mook|Fyora]] you've been keeping around for ten levels.
* In [[Return to Krondor]], {{spoiler|The necromancers encountered throughout the game turn out to be doing this. The sewer monsters were humans that were transformed into green beasts with poisoned claws that could make eggs if a male one and female one came together. It is possible to transform one of them back to a human via an alchemical catalyst. Also, in the middle of the game, it is possible to encounter a two-headed red beast that seems to be similar to an Air Elemental but this one can inflict fire damage. Jazhara comments that that thing was an abomination. That creature may have been one of the experiments conducted by Sidi's necromancers.}}

* In ''[[Solatorobo]]: Red the Hunter'' the hybrids were created by [[Big Bad|Baion]] and Merveille, two of them are [[Omnicidal Maniac|Omnicidal Maniacs]] {{spoiler|and the third is the hero}}. Merveille really feels bad about it though.
** Also, the Juno {{spoiler|''re''created the entire world population after wiping it clean, thanks to humans destroying the planet with their wars.}}

A company that until then created equivalents of the [[Star Wars|droid army]] had the bright idea of creating the equivalent of the ''clone'' army for theocratic clients. Furious, they had the whole company exterminated, from CEO to janitor. The protagonist's parents worked there.
