The process of
cloning a
human is just the same as any other
mammal. You get the
nucleus from a cell of the
organism you want to clone, put it into an empty host
egg cell (sorry, I don’t know the real term) and hope that it starts
growing. It’s basically
genetically precise
conception.
The thing that most people don’t seem to realize is that all this creates is a baby with the same
genetic code which will
translate into an
identical body. It does not create an identical human. In order to create an identical person, that clone would have to go through the exact same
experiences as the original, and that is, in reality,
impossible. Furthermore, cloning yourself would not extend your life, because all you would have done is create another human that looks just like you. In order for that to actually be you, your
brain would have to be
transplanted into that body, as well as a few other, less important things (like
memory cells your body creates after it attacks a
virus). Talking your clone into giving up their body will be another
challenge.
Currently, nobody has compleatly cloned a human being yet, or at least nobody has said anything, but it won't be long now.
