If that&#8217;s the case, throw him in jail and hope you have better luck with the clone. Seriously, cloning should only be done as a hobby. It&#8217;s what I do alone on a winter&#8217;s night, if I can&#8217;t find a jigsaw puzzle. But using clones to get out of work is a clear violation of ethics.
