Just a thought but imagine if by any chance, they have already secretly succeeded in accomplishing this. And imagine if they’re already doing it in secret. Do you think this is likely?
Yes, 100% the technology and skill is available today to clone a human.
The ethics are dubious and nobody with that technology and skill is going to attempt it. They’re working on lab grown meat and replacement transplant organs.
I don’t think cloning a human would be much harder than a sheep.
For sure, if some research institution were motivated enough. I won’t speculate if it’s happened in secret, but cloning a sheep brings us pretty close to being capable of cloning a human. I would be more surprised if 30 years since the cloning of Dolly, we haven’t advanced to the point where the only thing stopping us from cloning humans are ethical concerns.
Probably not cloning like scifi where exact body scars, broken bones, memories transferred.
But china did try to hide some cloning human project researcher a while back. Not sure what happened there.
