The character Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, and Solidus are all clones of the super soldier Big Boss. In the method described in the game in vitro fertilization is used with eight embryos, and five of them are aborted to give rise to the clones. The main villain, one of the clones, explicitly refers to this action as murder, although he attributes this to themselves.
Big Boss, after having been "mortally wounded," supposedly survives by being cryogenically frozen, then stem cells heal him.
