it gets even creepier when you consider that their goal is immortality. if they can start cloning people, then they can in theory live forever if they figure out how to switch bodies. and to get perfect organ donors.
another field of research I've come across is the concept of a head transplant. some researcher has tried it with some animal I believe monkeys. he couldn't reattach the spinal cord so the body was in fact paralyzed. but the monkey was alive for a few hours, using the body as a life support system. but if they figure out how to reattach the spinal cord (an active area of research for paralyzed people) they could in theory reattach the original person's head to his clone and there would be 100% compatibility. as the clone's "body' would be 20yo let's say but the original's head is 70yo, would that extend the 70yo life? probably. and likely by a lot.
so think about what they want to do and connect the dots.
artificial womb to create clone, somehow keep clone in stasis for 20 years until adulthood or have them live somewhere like the movie the Island. harvest them to extend original's life.

real Frankenstein stuff.
Recurring themes recur for a reason. I have a feeling things behind the curtain are ahead of schedule.
We really are in the way.
