I don't think the art of bringing people to the lab and scanning them was ever a thing. Pre-recent buff, I could never get people to stand still for long enough, and volunteering as a non-geneticist mostly tended to get me summarily ignored. During the days of the portagene, this largely resulted in geneticists locking themselves away with a valuchimp and buffing themselves to omnipotence in complete silence. After the nerf it seems to have reverted to the status quo. I dunno where this idea of benevolent geneticists comes from, during the genetics heyday pretty much every post was about how the cloner was ignored more than ever and the geneticists were unstable jerks who, if they were even present in the lab, were just as likely to telekinetically shove you into the reclaimer for being present than anything. There's a reason the portagene was removed and the reclaimer needs to be emagged to accept live bodies now.
