Who else thinks there are certain countries that have figured out cloning and are growing human bodies sans brains? Or with?

China has already admitted to human cloning. Well, a scientist in China did. Then the CCP came down on him hard for it. I think the most powerful people in the world control governments but are not the government. It is globalist families. They absolutely have cloning figured out, but I don't think it is necessarily a useful tool.

I think the benefit of figuring out cloning is the understanding of biology that it affords you.

I think selective breeding is the real tool they use for growing obedient subjects and capable soldiers.

The problem with cloning genetically engineered soldiers is that you have to wait 20 years for the product. Once you start the pipeline, though.....

Cloning and genetically modifying are two very different things. I don't think the technology exists to intelligently modify genes artificially. The best they can do is selective breeding. Cloning runs counter to selective breeding. It does not allow for improvement. It will also work them into a corner where they are forced to continue Cloning because any attempt to breed the clones will lead to inbreeding.

Gene modifications tools, like CRISPR, can get there faster, if they're that far along with the technology.

The tools can, but only if you have an extreme comprehension of the genes you want to alter. We have limited knowledge about a limited amount of genes. It is far easier to find physical traits and breed them than it is to figure out what collection of genes can result in those traits without also causing harm.
