Cloning a whole person is virtually impossible. Our eggs aren't able to be fooled and accept the body cell that is needed to make the cloning work. Instead of an egg and a sperm, what they do is remove the nucleus from the egg and implant a regular body cell into it. Sheep and Cow embryos have been able to be fooled like this, and this is why you had Dolly the Sheep.
I think cloning an entire human is wrong. There are too many variables involved with the way you are brought up and the world around you - you can never give birth to the same person twice. BUT I have no problem with people using their own cells to clone parts of them ... if a person is burned on over 75% of their body, I think they should be able to take their own skin cells and clone grafts of their own skin. If someone's kidneys are failing, I think they should be able with their own kidney cells clone new healthy ones. I don't find anything at all wrong with something like that. It's just when you try it with the entire human being does it get kinda tricky... ![]() |
