I have had almost the exact same experience as crumplehat. While researching, i will gladly clone any body brought before me if able. The only difference between my experience and crumplehat's is that I will periodically leave my workstation and take a stroll around the station while something is researching. This is the only reason I EVER see those bodies left at the far north airlock. If people cannot be bothered to walk half a screen down to the other airlock where they can be seen, then that is their problem, not ours. Yes there are some geneticists are are generally shit that refuse to clone bodies, or fuck off to parts unknown to hide away and do research. There are also engineers that will NEVER in a million years start the engine, or fix the station. There are Quartermasters that will never order vital supplies for the station, and instead will go seek their fortunes in space or buy fancy cloths. There are scientists who will never make useful chemicals that can save lives, but instead will make concoctions that can literally eat the sever whole. I could go on and on and on with this, but i think they point has been made. Genetics is no different than any other department. Sometimes it will have good staffers, sometimes it will have bad staffers. Eliminating the position does not solve the problem. If it did, then we should also completely eliminate 90% of all the other departments.
