Summary/Abstract: The experiments related to cloning are not only physically dangerous for the human species as they imply transhuman mutations which might ultimately be destructive, but also threatening in the way in which they change the perception of space from an exterior, objective, well-determined territory to a subjective, prohibitive place of trauma and conflict. In Ishiguro’s novel “Never Let Me Go” memories of various spaces are repeated over and over until they all become the same.
