Tossed this around a while ago, it got lost somewhere in the cloning thread. Essentially: (remove cloning and replace it with) a slab in Robotics storage with a lever. Put a dead body on the slab, throw the lever and if the engine output is right, bring that body to life! If it's too high, you get a burning or vapourised body. Too low and they just jerk around a little like you tried to defib them.
I made a shitty half-done sprite based on the slab from Bride of Frankenstein.

Where I'm going with my ideas is I'd like to see cloning removed, maybe Genetics moved to Research, then Robotics get to be the mad scientist resurrection men/cyber-augmenters (see here). Bing bang bosh, death is no longer cheap, Genetics can work in relative peace and quiet (next to the mad bombers, random button-pushers, kleptomaniac teleporters and chemists), Roboticists have lots of stuff to do and we have another reason to get mad at engineers who don't do their jobs.
