I think this is a typo?
"he'd" or "he had", possibly
"premeditation"
I am interested to see what Rei's planning to do. Cloning, as someone already brought up, would be the obvious one, but that carries questions on how she'd go about imprinting her consciousness onto the clone, or whether her nonhuman aspects would let her somehow divide her consciousness, or maybe transfer it into the clone if her current body were to be killed.
In the meantime, I'm always happy to see people discussing the technical minutia of fiction; Shinji providing an engineer's perspective on radical surgery absolutely scratched that itch.
EDIT: One option that occurred right after posting - she might be intending to use this laboratory setup as a surgical op, and rather than cloning herself, she's going to have herself rigged with cybernetics to make her better able to protect those she loves. Given that the main example of cyborg humans I can think of in Half-Life are, well...
Even if the Stalkers seem to be less "augmented" than "roboticized", anything which could be sourced from Combine research into modifying the human body would probably carry some rather heavy costs.
