However, I think it's heavily implied that LET was the very first successful cloning attempt. For Quiet to look the age she does (around her 20s), she would've needed to be "born" in 1964. So it's highly unlikely they had even perfected the cloning process anyway at that point in time. Well yeah, but remember there has been other genetic experiments, like Gene in MGS PO

Not to mention she really wouldn't be a clone of The End anyways (not a true clone, anyways), since clones don't have different genders from their genetic source. At best, expect her status as being like the Genome Soldiers (ie, their genes were transferred "digitally.")
