Do you think humans can be cloned as of currently? (I mean, not just a specific part of the body but a whole human) (lemmy.ml)

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?

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.
