>>>Would turning a clone runner token heal it? I would say no considering it is
suppose to be not a true organism but more an organic walking soup mix.<<<

It's a Runner! WHAT is so hard to understand about that? This little
rant is not directed at you Axl', but at everybody who is carrying on
about tokens, clone tokens, Runners as opposed to Clone tokens, Genetics
Lab being broken or abusive, etc.:

As Loki has already pointed out, the Gen Lab card says to treat the
clone token as an exact duplicate of the Runner, yadda, yadda, yadda…
…to my eyes and ears, "exact duplicate" means it's a Runner. It's not an
info token or a drug token and it doesn't do what other tokens do. It
does what other Runners do. It's a R-u-n-n-e-r.

I also have to say that I think most of the people on the list are
overreacting to this card (I should talk—"listen" to what I'm writing).
It may be broken. It may not. But until more than one of us has the
thing and uses it, there's no way to know! Only one person has used this
devastating promo card in their deck and who did it hurt? The owner! 5
(or was it 6?) Runners dead! Boy, what a game-buster!

Sorry, I'm having an edgy day. =(
