Haha, human->monkey->human cloning is pretty much how cloning used to work back in the day. It... kinda sucked.
My suggestion would be to make cloning require a living test subject to scan, AND a viable brain for transplant. This could encourage geneticists to wait for doctors to at least stabilize a body that is in crit, rather than stealing the wounded so they'll die in the lab and get cloned.
Scan someone's DNA before death and keep it on file like insurance. Maybe even charge for that if you'd like to. If someone died and didn't bother getting insurance, well, maybe you'll just toss their brain into a monkey or some junk dna clone you had laying around. If some genetic markers between the brain and the cloned body don't match up right, you could get a whole nice mess of disabilities to fix maybe.
As part of this, it could be rad to have a shock paddle thing be part of activating clones, and maybe make the cryo tanks keep brainless bodies alive.
