I've seen body mounds in the past. I, perhaps fortunately, haven't been witness to some of the more terrible, xenophobic geneticists, but I've had my fair share of console-staring jerks.
And yeah, most people just end up cloning themselves. But, the more people start cloning themselves, the more it becomes established that geneticists barely even need to clone anyone if people are just going to do it without intervention anyways. If geneticists cloning people starts becoming the exception instead of the rule, then why give geneticists dominion over the cloner in the first place? But THEN a problem arises in that geneticists would then have the one big reason for crew interaction gone and have absolutely no reason to, as mentioned before, not interact with anyone ever. And yet, isn't that what most of them do already?
The whole thing just strikes me as a no-win situation from all fronts, and it's frustrating as hell.
