Cloning is a topic found in many forms within the science fiction genre. As our understanding of the possible/practical has improved, the portrayal of cloning has differed. Take a look at some of the short stories in the virtual library about cloning. Can you categorize the type of cloning used? Is the cloning an integral part of the story or incidental?

The short stories don't always specify exactly what kind of cloning was used, but the ones that do use SCNT cloning. The stories that I read focused very heavily on the morality of cloning and how a clone might think, so the cloning in itself isn't so important as the consequences it has. In one story, it says that the fingerprints of the clones are identical, but I'm not so sure that that would happen.
