Bee Costume Suicide

[Sam Guivene]

Couldn't this be exploited by building a cloner, waiting for honey prices to peak, and then having a bunch of people bee-gib, get partially cloned, scanned, shoved into a bee costume, and bee-gib again, all in the name of cruel market capitalism?

That is a very good point, I hadn't thought about that possibility. Even thought the suit would also be destroyed you can just go buy more. However, leaving behind a bee with your name still seems fine.

You would still need a lot of meat to keep cloning bodies.

You would almost have to grow synth meat plants in genetics for that to be profitable.

Actually I'm curious now does synth meat actually work with the genetic blender?

If it's possible I'm gonna make sense of that by saying that synth meat must be based on stem cells.

Synth Meat does in fact work with genetics blender, and is a valid method to get all the biomass you need without biomassing corpses, of course botany never cooperates so its a moot point. Also my argument was technically for it, as any exploit that involves repeatedly killing and cloning a crew member is a valid source of income, in theory one could make a ton of money in the organ trade also through killing and cloning crew so its not really a concern of admins.
