RE: Medtch 2180

"snip a bunch of medical and cloning stuff"

Well if you can clone the guy and have copies of his brain pattern why
dont
you just send in a couple of dozen copies of Bill the wonder grunt? 
Imagine
the savings on training.  And boy talk about unit cohesion.  THey all
think
a like.

Personally I dont think cloning would ever take the place of the
soldier.
The human body is to complicated to reproduce exactly.	The old brain
pattern would still have to get used to the new body.  Might take quite
a
while.	Anyway the ethical questions of cranking out a bunch of Bills to
go
fight could get sticky.  What do you do with them after the fighting is
over?  What if Bill #2341 does not want to be expendable anymore?  I
think
there are enough books and movies about this to fill a library. 
Bladerunner
has this type of theme I believe.
