New Idea for Defib and Cloning

A lot of suggestions are made to replace cloning with defibs, or that defibs would be just as bad/worse than cloning, and so we have to have cloning.

But why not have both? Make it so defibbing someone who died will bring them back with just under lethal damage, and stabilize them for long enough for medical to do whatever. Or even do it like Bay, where you have to repair before defibbing. However, should the body be dead for 10 minutes or longer(Or be a husk, since husks are generally accepted to be really fucked), it cannot be defibbed. And if you do it the first way, then add a 15 minute cooldown or something to stop a body from being defibbed repeatedly. And so, if a body has been dead to long, you either clone, or do whatever records say.

Pros:

+People don't have to not tick DNC in order to rejoin the round without having to deal with cloning

+Cloning would have more weight, and be more of a last resort type deal

+Medical has a reason to be so gung ho about getting to bodies

+Bodies are less likely to sit in a crime scene while waiting for FT to get there, since getting them to medbay quickly is more important

Cons:

-A lot of coding/porting

-Antags would be more likely to take steps to prevent body recovery, since if someone's defibbed they would probably still remember who/what done got them

-Death might be seen as an even more minor inconvienience

-Chance people might find a way to abuse it somehow

-FTs might get to do less autopsies, and crime scenes may become more corrupted

Defibrillators were added and cloning was removed, therefore this suggestion is considered outdated.

Locking and archiving.
