See, currently there are issues with both sides, so a rivalry doesn't really work anymore.
Roboticists - Want to borg people, but people don't want to be borged because borgs are considered boring.
Geneticists - Don't care about cloning people, but people want to be cloned.
Now, if borgs were more interesting, and geneticists had some sort of incentive to clone people, we would have a more interesting relation of the body-snatchers.
