Genoids

Genoids are a fictional concept often explored in science fiction, particularly in video games and animated series. The term generally refers to artificially created humans, often engineered for specific purposes or possessing unique abilities. Unlike androids, which are typically depicted as mechanical beings, genoids are organic, possessing biological makeup similar to humans.

The creation of genoids usually involves advanced genetic engineering and cloning technologies. They might be designed for combat, labor, or even as companions. Their artificial origin can lead to complex ethical and philosophical questions within the narratives, exploring themes of identity, free will, and the definition of humanity. Sometimes, genoids are indistinguishable from regular humans, while in other instances, they may exhibit enhanced physical or mental capabilities. Their existence often presents a challenge to societal norms and established orders, as their artificiality blurs the lines between creation and creator. The term itself suggests a connection to genetics and a resemblance to human life, differentiating them from purely synthetic entities.
