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?
100% it can be. Once it was done in animals there is nothing really keeping it done people and while im 100% on if it has been done secretly I would in no way be shocked to find out it had and think its more likely to have been than not.
Technically? I don’t see why not
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…
I don’t think cloning a human would be much harder than a sheep.
I mean, I don’t see why not, but having a clone isn’t as big a deal as people think. Identical twins are already natural clones
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.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a human was cloned. The issue right now seems to be resolving the ethical issues over the technical ones.
Currently, no.
They haven’t even managed to clone any hominids from adult cells, yet. But they’re not far off.We’re either there or close, but just like last time you asked this, nobody’s going to do this in secret. They’d be bragging their asses off.
No, and the ethics behind it are too screwed to try it.
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.
