Duplication of a human being is not cloning.

Cloning never goes well.  cf. Sleeper, or Boys from Brazil. 

On the other hand, duplication has some issues.  For example,
the situation in Spock Must Die.

Duplication takes something like the the Star Trek transporter
which has sufficient memory to hold the whole human database and
facilities for recreation in another instance.  It has been used in
stories to move instances of human persons to very remote as in
other star systems to solve problems or to cause them.

No doubt they keep tape backups of those red-shirted guys who need
constant replacement.
