Keywords:
simulation, simulacrum, cloning, hyper realityAbstract
The research studies Jean Baudrillard's conception about the merging of simulation and virtuality and its consequence on the notion and perception of man. It focuses on the duplicate-simulacrum of man that Baudrillard depicts in his works. In this context the paper also examines a lot of scientific discoveries in the field of nanotechnologies, medicine, plastic surgery and genetic engineering.
