I've posted my big Genetics idea a million times but no one seems to be interested in it. But sure, since buffing Genetics again instead of all the other departments that need it more and have seen far less recent development seems to be the current forum fad, here we go again:
Make the cloning pod act as a Genetics machine on the person being cloned, allowing the Geneticist to tweak the genes of the person being cloned. Give it some additional bonus (maybe accelerated research or shorter cool downs) to compensate for the time limit on working with it and to incentive Geneticists to take advantage. Boom. Genetics now has a solid incentive to clone people, they have plenty of opportunity to give people powers, and in most rounds they'll have a steady supply of bodies to experiment on. And because people in the pod don't get to opt out unless they suicide or DNR, genetics can feel more comfortable giving out the mischevious/annoying powers they wouldn't normally give a willing participant, while clones "pay" for their cloning by spending a short period as genetics' unwilling guinea pig.
