== Tabletop RPG ==
* ''[[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]]'': Every player character has six identical clones, and when one dies, the next one is sent in to replace it.
* In ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' Clone spell could be used to create copies of a creature, normally as a form of resurrection when the original is lost completely. [[Only One Me Allowed Right Now]] effects implied that it's more than just an identical body, though. Stasis Clone (unique spell from ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'') makes the revival of one stored copy upon death automatic and allows to "update" inactive clones.
** As of 3E the Clone spell simply creates an inert duplicate that the original's soul transfers to at death.
* ''[[Eclipse Phase]]'' uses [[Brain Uploading]] for both pseudo-immortality and most interplanetary "travel". Though unless they were really rich someone rarely gets downloaded into a clone, rather a "used morph" that happened to be lying around at the body bank. Making more than one active copy of a person is fairly easy and highly illegal, but slightly edited copies are sometimes used for a form of real-time interplanetary communication.
