A little Question and Answer Thread.

Code:

/obj/machinery/computer/cloning/proc/scan_mob(mob/living/carbon/human/subject as mob)
    if ((isnull(subject)) || (!istype(subject, /mob/living/carbon/human)))
        src.temp = "Error: Unable to locate valid genetic data."
        return
    if(!allow_dead_scanning && subject.decomp_stage)
        src.temp = "Error: Failed to read genetic data from subject.<br>Necrosis of tissue has been detected."
        return
    if (!subject.bioHolder || subject.bioHolder.HasEffect("husk"))
        src.temp = "Error: Extreme genetic degredation present."
               return

Looks like what you and Triacontakai said is correct, though I've head the same get passed around.

Well, you can still SR them in the very least. Even if it's easier to do a brain transplant, or even if you could scan them, I'd prefer they get SR'd - it's damned hilarious to have a bunch of husks walking around.
