Considering how things are in EP, a simple answer is to use a beta fork for babysit one or several bodies. Also, once the model is "standarized" enough, I'd bet you can use dumb drones for this babysitting, so if anomalies are detected an expert can be called.

Consider the amount of “clanking masses” trapped in cheap sythmorphs, it must be pretty hard. If not then there’ll be little point to improve the case morph. Surely no hypercorp can copyright the genes for a baseline human.

Yes and no. We see in almost every book, regardless of it being rules, adventure or fluff, how so many throw away biomorphs like useless toys. Fights to the death are popular sports, etc...

Well, thing is, you can slap a recently-dead body into the healing vat and revive it. Even if all that survives is a head you can pop it in and 'recycle' the body, so unless the body was absolutely splattered or incinerated it can be recovered, and even decapitation won't kill you, at least not as long as you have medichines or something to put the head in stasis.

In the world of EP, it feels like bodies are a good analogue for modern humanity's automobiles. In large swaths of the world (or in marginalized parts of wealthy polities) many people make do with "beaters" or nothing at all. If they don't have one, they rely on public resources, loaners and assistance from associates, or renting in emergencies. If they do have one, keeping it in good shape is a matter of survival. Getting a brand new high-end one is something that happens in entertainment videos, not something that's reasonably within reach. For the well-to-do in most of the world, or the middle class in wealthy polities, they're an assumed part of living but they're also a huge expense — so much so that most people go into debt to get one, working off the cost over the course of five or more years. If it's wrecked, or gives out before they've paid off the loan? They rely on insurance to replace it and still have to swallow painful expenses. Without that safety net they'd be SOL. When they travel, they might rent a a high-end one as a treat. Some people — either because of personal taste, or because they live in densely-packed areas where it's more hassle than they feel it's worth — prefer to live without them entirely. For the wealthy, ownership is high and many have two or more — some even collect them, give shiny new ones to their children as gifts, and generally treat them as toys and status symbols rather than essential tools for work and living. Thanks to their wealth, cars are assets to be owned and enjoyed, and losing one is annoying — but not life-altering. Viewed through those lenses, the average Firewall mission is the climax of The Fast And The Furious — a spectacle of destruction in which cars are a disposable resource to keep a team moving towards their goal. In the background, though, there's still the poor schmoe trying to pay off his Camry and praying to god the brakes don't go out because he'll lose his job if he can't commute.

If you're content with a 70% success rate, you could have the ALI (with appropriate specialization) handle it. RAW, that would also take 1/3rd the listed time, since the ALI can run 24 hours a day. I'm not sure if that's RAI. Using the taking time rule, the ALI can get even a lesser skill of 40 up to 100 by taking 2.5x as long (likely skipping the skill test). The combination of these two means that for the listed time, you can just assume you get the morph without any player skill test. If the player focuses on the task, you can make the rolls, and divide the time by 3.

Like a couple of people have said, you gain a bonus for taking extra time. So what if the numbers in the book are for the fastest an exowomb or healing vat can grow a body, with everything in the red and probably some unsightly side effects? Under normal circumstances the ALI or doctor will give natural processes more time to grow and heal before applying the next batch of chemicals or nanobots. The process is, aside from freak accidents or untrained personnel, completely safe. Any takers?

This is handwave waffle, not actual rules: a copy of the end-result's genome or DNA template exists in an available database, giving the attending physician(s) something to work towards and allowing them to save some time by skipping or combining certain long-term processes by introducing nanobots. Reduce timeframe by ??%.
