== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]'': A rather dark story (even for this series...) reveals that Count D's father engineered a "sister" for D {{spoiler|{(she's actually an orangutan)}} to provide him with "spare parts," since D apparently suffers from some kind of [[Soap Opera Disease]] that is introduced and [[What Happened to the Mouse?|then forgotten about]]. She is eerily proud of her purpose.
** {{spoiler|D's disease seems to relate to a later-implied need to drink blood. At the end of the story, he's shown drinking a glass of what Chris assumes to be "cranberry juice", in his "sister's" name.}}
* Adorea of ''[[Franken Fran]]''. Under all those bandages is a body covered in zippers for easy access to any emergency spare body parts that Fran might need. Fran replenishes her supply by {{spoiler|letting Adorea swallow people who are nearly dead}}.
Line 40:
* ''[[House of the Scorpion]]'' features entire [[People Farms]] for this purpose. Those used are all [[Cloning Blues|clones]], which "aren't human" anyways. And as a rule they're deliberately brain-damaged shortly after birth so as to make sure they don't seem human. The main character is a rare exception, {{spoiler|though still a potential involuntary organ donor, because his "father" is just that sort of guy.}}
* This is the basis of ''Spares'' by Michael Marshall Smith.
* In [[The Patternist Series]] by Octavia E. Butler, the immortal soul eating [[Body Surf|Body Surfer]]er Doro attempted to create a new race of human telepaths through a selective breeding program extending from the early ages of human history towards the present so he can have new bodies to possess. He is eventually [[Hoist by His Own Petard]] as one of his group of eponymous network telepaths struggle beyond his control and absorb him instead.
