So, you're missing some limb or organ and are worried about tissue rejection. Don't worry, the doctor can just grow you a new one in this vat here. Oh, and there's no ethical issues to worry about, it's not like this cloned part has a brain, it's just an arm or leg or liver. Depending on the setting, this may be more, or less expensive than (equally functional) Artificial Limbs, but it is almost always more culturally acceptable. Some scientists are working on this in Real Life due to the scarcity of transplantable organs and the problem of immune reactions to transplants. Chimeric organs that could be suitable for transplant have been grown in pigs and sheep while bladders and tracheas have been produced in labs. Walking Transplant is this trope taken to the extreme, where an entire person is created solely for the purpose of harvesting their organs for another. |

Mentioned to be possible but illegal in the Tales of the Bounty Hunters story "Of Possible Futures: The Tale of Zuckuss and 4-LOM". Zuckuss needs a new set of lungs, but because therapeutic cloning is illegal, they need a lot of money to get it done on the black market. After they pull a Heel–Face Turn and help out the Rebels, the Rebels reveal they've worked out a way to trigger the regrowth of the damaged tissues that doesn't require cloning. | |

The Mandalorian: Doctor Pershing explains that this is the reason he got into cloning research; his mother died of heart failure, and if their planet had the ability to clone organs, it simply wouldn't have been an issue. Pershing's own research focuses more on LEGO Genetics; the implication is that cloned replacement organs are common on more prosperous planets, but his own homeworld just didn't have that sort of infrastructure. | |

This is the business model for the company in The Island (2005), cloning client's body parts into a mindless sack for organ donations.

This is fairly common in the Vorkosigan Saga. Miles gets a whole new set of internal organs after his chest is blown out by a needle grenade, and Aral has to take some time off, waiting for them to grow him a new heart, after his heart attack. In emergencies, the parts that get installed are often undersized and need to grow in situ, but with advance warning, full-sized parts can be grown. | |

This is possible in the Ghost in the Shell universe (although natural organ transplants are still used, and some people opt for cybernetic organs). A company in the first season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex grows cloned organs in genetically engineered pigs for its clients as a combined insurance policy (since you can have the organs implanted in you if there's an accident) and investment (since you can opt to sell your unused cloned organs). | |

Doctor Bashir mentions cloning organs in season 7 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and also requests a sample from Odo (a shapeshifter) so that Starfleet Medical can investigate being able to replicate suitable organs before battles without having to worry about matching types too much. Star Trek: Voyager mentions that Matter Replicators are capable of this in some cases. Averted in "Phage"; after his own stupidity leads him to walk into a Vidiian ambush and have his lungs stolen, Neelix cannot have them replicated, as they are too complicated. This forces the Doctor to develop holographic lungs as a temporary measure until the crew can either track down his stolen organs or find a compatible donor. In "Emanations", the EMH resurrects an alien brain cancer victim by removing the tumor from her brain stem, replicating replacement tissue, then following the standard post-mortem resuscitation procedure for her class of life-forms. |

A Certain Droll Hivemind: Misaka-11111 mentions that many of the organs from the dead Sisters were donated to those who needed them. The Network decided they don't have a problem with this; after all, they don't need the organs any more. They did, however, ask why Academy City couldn't just clone up individual organs for each recipient; they have the technology, it's far less morally dubious, and there would be no chance of rejection. They don't get an answer. | |

Futurama: This sometimes comes up. In "I Dated a Robot", Fry goes to "Handcrafters" to get new hands sewed on after losing the originals in a T. rex feeding accident. In a later episode, Fry and Leela each have an arm ripped off and the Professor grows them new ones. When Fry's nose gets stolen right off his face in "Spanish Fry", Leela suggests letting the Professor clone him a new one, but Fry refuses, saying that "It wouldn't be the same, I don't wanna teach a new one how to shoot milk when I laugh." |

Judge Dredd: Cloning technology has developed to the point where both cloning full people and body parts is possible. Judge Logan is able to get a new arm after losing it in the line of duty. | |

In Eclipse Phase, most parts can be regenerated after a few days in a Healing Vat — a severed head can get a new body in a week or two. There are also "Pods" that are Artificial Humans assembled from vat-cultured organs and cybernetics as a cheaper alternative to purely biological biomorphs. | |

Lobster Random: Lobster has an arm cloned for him after cutting off his left arm, which he reckons takes a decade off the average age of his entire body. He chops it off after getting cuffed. | |

In Oryx and Crake, "pigoons" are chimeric pigs with human organs (several human organs, in fact), based on one possible method of producing artificial organs. | |

The Halo games have this in their lore, in a process called "Flash cloning". It can recreate organs, skin, and even blood in a short amount of time with the use of cells from the same area, preventing transplant rejection because the body will still recognize it as its "organ". The facilities used can be the size of a shoe box, and the process can even clone entire human beings, though they suffer from accelerated aging or medical problems as they get older and start to wear out due to the process not being designed to create such a large number of cells. This was used in an unusual way by Dr. Catherine Halsey, who cloned her own brain to use as the basis for Cortana. | |

In the Firefly episode "The Message", Mal and Zoe's war buddy Tracy has a job smuggling cloned organs. They're illegal because, according to Simon, the technology isn't ready or fully approved yet, so smuggling them requires implanting them in a host, who doubles as an incubator. | |

In The Pride of Parahumans, the bioprinting processes that were used to produce the parahumans can also make individual organs. Argentum has the intestine and liver damaged by a harpoon to the torso replaced by bioprinting but opts for a prosthetic hand that is quicker to retrain. | |

This is taken to a bizarre extreme in Transmetropolitan — human body part cloning is so commonplace that a fast-food chain called "Long Pig" serves it, and you can even grow your own vice-presidential candidate. | |

Star Trek: Voyager mentions that Matter Replicators are capable of this in some cases. Averted in "Phage"; after his own stupidity leads him to walk into a Vidiian ambush and have his lungs stolen, Neelix cannot have them replicated, as they are too complicated. This forces the Doctor to develop holographic lungs as a temporary measure until the crew can either track down his stolen organs or find a compatible donor. In "Emanations", the EMH resurrects an alien brain cancer victim by removing the tumor from her brain stem, replicating replacement tissue, then following the standard post-mortem resuscitation procedure for her class of life-forms. |

Dead Space: Overlaps with Walking Transplant. USG Ishimura has a whole section dedicated to replacing limbs since it's a mining vessel where injuries can happen very frequently. This facility contains tubes full of green liquid which have infants floating in them. It's never explained if they are conscious or not, and how the process works; however, since we never see any clones of a different age, it suggests that they are simply organ farms without higher mental functions. | |

In Hc Svnt Dracones, replacing limbs counts as General Surgery, as does adding tails or other non-prehensile appendages; a second pair of arms or legs requires Augmentation Surgery that costs twice as much. You can get an Artificial Limb, but it costs five times more than regeneration and has no special advantages aside from concealing weapons, being more of a fashion statement than anything. | |
