Answer 1:
Humans can be cloned, but only
theoretically. Scientists have cloned a sheep
successfully, but it did not work well (the sheep
died young) and there were many failed attempts.
Many scientists and physicians are skeptically
about cloning humans, due to the inefficiency
of animal cloning (only about 1 or 2 viable
offspring for every 100 experiments) and the lack
of understanding about reproductive cloning. While
humans are more complicated than sheep, they are
not much more complicated, therefore, the same
problems would be expected in human cloning. The
big question mark will be around for a long time
because cloning a person is very, very morally
complicated.
