I really, really like genetics idea. Would also help make your own life feel more valuable.
It could work like the QM loans proposed in the OP, in that you'd either pay right away or sign a contract saying you'll pay later or suffer the consequences (read: get beaten up again).
Alternatively, the geneticist could just get a computer where he swipes someones ID card and takes money from it, and just doesn't clone the guy if he can't pay and nobody else pays for him.
Also the geneticists should get a computer that lets them set the cost of cloning which should be shown on a screen in medbay or something to inform people how much money they need to save up (read: steal).
This, in combination with the transfer-money-with-PDAs idea (which I also support btw) would also let traitors steal someone's money to prevent them from being cloned. Or they could just steal the ID. I don't know.
