And the clone gets a great excuse to get out of things. “That wasn’t me, that was my clone”

Instant cloning opens up many interesting possibilities:

• Dying of old age while having some unpaid loans on your account? Don't worry, per your loan contract you signed, your creditor can "revive" you using the cloning tech so you can continue working and paying your debt.
• Do you have an illness that's very expensive to treat? Just die and pass everything to your clone.
• There might be some black market cloners so you can create an illegal clone to do unpleasant stuff (e.g. working, cleaning house, etc) while you're relaxing at home. Once the illegal clone finished their task, they can just die and disintegrate wherever. The disposable clone don't have to know that they are a disposable clone or they'll revolt and reports you for human right violation. You can wake up in the morning, go to work, then went home only to find your original self chilling in the couch while your body starts disintegrating. "oh shit, I'm the clone..."
