Why couldn't William save Zoe too? - Overhead of smartphone with simple recycling sign on screen placed on white eco friendly mesh bag on marble table in room

In the 2018 movie Replicas with Keanu Reeves, why didn't he simply tell his family what happened once they had woken up, and say he had to clone them to save their lives? Then he could use one of the now-empty cloning pods to save Zoe as well, eliminating the need to erase Zoe from their minds and keep up the appearance around the house that Zoe never existed (i.e. her memorabilia) and that 20 days hadn't passed. (i.e. the spoiled milk.)
