I'm struggling to understand what you mean. The body is not alive? How do you figure that. As soon as the consciousness is in the clone, that clone body is alive.

I was under the Impression that we are not infact in our bodies. That our consciousness was actually downloaded into a large number of super computers or into the communications networks. Sure the individual cells may be alive, but the "life" the body is experiencing is just it being remote controlled by a digital consciousness.

That's my take on the subject at least.

On a side note, it does raise a question: Were our individual clones alive before implants were applied? Or were they somehow grown while brain-dead?

Am am where ever my consciousness is. That is me, not some lifeless body held into some mechanical coffin, that allows me to be immortal. Where the mind is the body lives.

Testosterone is a good hormone for amping up an individual, removing that would be an unnecessary impediment. When the goal is having available hardened mercenaries who can fight and fight and fight, I imagine that neutering them would take away their... enthusiasm.
