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 mean the technology is not that rare. Like the equipment the guy cured his lactose intolerance with (if he truly had) was borrowed but its really just chemicals and centrifuges and pipets until implantation. I mean somone rich enough could easily get a lab going in their mansion but yeah the average suburbanite bight not be able to get it all together.

      …nobody with that technology and skill is going to attempt it.

      I’m certainly no expert in the field, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there were or could be cloning operations in places like Russia, China, NK and Saudi Arabia, for example.

      The value of an ‘enhanced human’ could be worth the cost, I’m thinking. And morals wouldn’t necessarily matter, to some…
