But if a society want to have a clone population to use for donations, it would be a lot more economical to have the clones mate with each other and reproduce normally, instead of constantly having to create more clones. Even though the offspring aren't actually clones, that doesn't seem like it would make much difference to a society depraved and indifferent enough to create the donor system in the first place.
If I were setting up this dystopia, I'd make one class of clones Breeders, whose job it is to reproduce; and another Donors, whose job it is to donate.
