Turn top half of genetics into cloning.

[BaneOfGiygas]

As a solution for situations in which waiting for the cloner isn't an option due to the shuttle or other time constraints, then yeah, it is definitely viable. But it's a little bit more complicated and therefore a bit more intimidating for newbies to get the hang of, and cloning is much more simplistic. No matter the reason, most roboticists (traitors excepted) save borging for either a last resort in case of time constraints or a rotted body, punishment for antagonists, or for people who WANT to be a cyborg. It's never really been a go-to option for the revival of dead players, and in its current state, I don't think it ever will be.
