How does GLaDOS get test subjects?
Hober is right, unless there is an Aperture Science Quick Cloning Device hidden somewhere in the facility. But seriously, Hober is right about cloning.

Always thought that the subjects were prison inmates sold to corporations in perfect scifi style.
Perhaps the Enrichment Centre is actually The Island and they're just using the inmates to test portal technology out of pure convenience. I mean why not?
Please don't actually list reasons as to why not

They could, given that they use mentally ill people, orphans and hobos. I wouldn't be suprised if inmates were involved, especially in the later stages of Aperture as they need money badly. They could go to the government and say "We'll take your prisoners out of the prisons and test them, saving taxpayer dollars on prisons, and we get new test subjects, and the prisoners have just as little chance of escape! Everybody wins, with the possible exception of the inmates.
"Inmates" may not have been the most fitting term.
Aperture also had a phase where they used plants as test subjects.
I also believe door to door salesmen were snatched at one point.

"Oh, in case you got covered in that repulsion gel, here's some advice the lab boys gave me: DO NOT get covered in the repulsion gel."
If I remember correctly, in Portal 1 there is a clipboard laying around somewhere showing a chicken as a test subject.

Is that why there was chicken sounds included in the sound files? Lol
Oh really? I've never heard of The Island, I just assumed that Inmates referred to prisoners.
