Future cloning.

[Jerkops]

These are neat ideas, but if you had a freshly dead body that you wanted to clone, and you needed raw materials to do it, couldn't you just scan the DNA and then cram the barely-rotten corpse into the cloner to make up most of the biomatter for the job?

Also I can't help but think about the proposed Martian gamemode that was being played around with a while back (whatever happened to that?) where the aliens would stick humans into dissolving vats or whatever to get their biomatter. Maybe the new cloners are stolen Martian technology.
