Hey... I just said that the Empire makes the rules. Like all the Imperial laws, they are really only enforced on others, not on the Imperial military itsself... :)
Though I do think most all the Stormtroopers are brainwashed normal humans, not clones. I'm sure some are, but not most... I don't think the Empire could get away with it. Not with the post-Clone War reaction to clones among the peoples of the galaxy... they wouldn't have somewhere to make lots of them (and give them the years they need to grow) without people knowing easily, I think... I'm sure they could do it but when you control the galaxy like they did its easier to recruit... until the discovery of the Ysalamiri that is, and they only allow for limited super-accelerated cloning -- ie limited to that one facility...
