Recent advances in biotechnology now provide a pathway to producing living human bodies without the neural components that allow us to think, be aware, or feel pain. Many will find this possibility disturbing, but if researchers and policymakers can find a way to pull these technologies together, we may one day be able to create “spare” bodies, both human and nonhuman.

Yeah, probably not, since most of that mass is going to be unnecessary and bring hundreds of random complications - but it'd present a very valuable step towards better iterations. The stuff learned from full clones would be applicable towards more targeted growth of usable organs (with some pared-down body scaffolding), the clones themselves would allow for some degree of testing of genetic therapies, new medicines, nerve stapling, experimental transplant methods, exotic cuisine, etc.
All very ethical stuff.
Still pretty far-out from a thing we can do, and while mindless clones should be a "thing we can do ethically"... well, I'm sure we'll find a way to fuck that up.
