I would count organ printing as cloning.

At the very least the raw materials would be obtained through cell cloning.

Indeed the raw materials are.

I didn’t think bioprinting was sufficiently akin to grow-in-a-vat cloning for the purposes of the trope, though, although I see some of the other examples disagree with me.

I have Marylin’s breasts… in a bottle. I show them to special friends.

Welp. Guess it didn’t take long at all to out-creepy the autophagy restaurants!

(Or autophagy restaurants.)

Ugh. I think I just found the one thing that would squick me out about the Eldraeverse.

To each their own, I guess.
