The clone, especially in its audiovisual version, has often been treated as a
marginalized being and its body understood as a repository of violence and pain, especially since
its mere existence has traditionally been subjected to maintaining the integrity of the ‘original’
human body. This is visible in films in which we observe the figure of the clone treated in ways
contrary to the critical posthumanism postulated by Braidotti, Ferrando or Vint, among others.
The Island (2005), Never Let me Go (2010) or the animated series World of Tomorrow (2015, 2017,
2020) make us reflect on our responsibility toward the consequences of certain uses of
biomechanical technology. A process of social denunciation is carried out through the emphasis
that these films give to posthuman subjectivity, and thus these clones show their concerns and
make viewers participants in their marginalized experience. Viewers see life from their
perspective, we share their biological consciousness and their very existence leads us to reflection
and denunciation
