The purpose of this study is to analyze Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go (2005) under Cyborgian concepts of decentered – nomadic bio-subjects, trans-genetic organisms, and trans-humans that create metaphorically the biomedical characters undertaking the human cloning in the theoretical framework of cyborg biotechnology. The method is an interdisciplinary study between science and literature. Ishiguro shows the process of forming the human clones through tracing the main character’s memories, Kathy. The cyborgian theories of Donna Haraway, Paul Virilio and Rosi Braidotti are employed to study the genetic organs of the selected novel in bio-medical discourse. The study reveals that politicians make the bio-medical subjects dehumanize in biotechnology, using them as the bio-commodities. In Neo-capitalism, the cyborgian biomedical character is the platonic copy of the real human due to three reasons: first, it does not have any human subjectivity; second, it has possibly lost its human identity; and, third, its gene has been changed. However, the importance of this study portrays that cyborg bio-literature makes the biomedical subjects more re-humanized to claim agency over them in bio-narratives. Cyborg disappears the conventional borderlines and depoliticizes them, creating the transgressed boundaries.
