This book offers a groundbreaking literary-ethical examination of cloning narratives in science fiction, positioning itself at the intersection of speculative fiction and emerging biotechnological realities.

As cloning steps out of science fiction and into our tangible reality, this book turns to the powerful stories we have been long told about duplication of life. They are not fantastical predictions, but deeply human parables that help us grasp what may lie ahead. This engaging journey across iconic novels and films from both Eastern and Western traditions reveals how these narratives have consistently explored timeless philosophical questions. What makes us who we are? How do memory and experience shape identity? And where should we draw the line in our scientific ambition? More than entertainment, these stories function as collective ethical rehearsals, offering readers an accessible and thought-provoking guide to a future that is already knocking at our door.

Literature scholars and students, especially those interested in science fiction, human cloning, and ethics, will find this title appealing. Beyond academia, this book's exploration of cloning ethics in sci-fi makes it a compelling read for librarians and general readers alike.
