Male & Female Clones: Now adults, not related, married, have a kid. Will the kid be a clone or normal?

Question

It could happen someday! If cloned parents give birth to a child, the child has to be a born clone since it came from cloned parents. Cloned people or animals aren't really real in the sense we are, they are copies of the original. Very interesting!!!

Answer 1

The baby would be real...because it would have gone through the same cycle you did when you were born, and it would grow up just like a normal child. It would not have been made in a science facility, it would have been made inside a living being.

Answer 2

It could hardly be a clone because the parents don't share the same DNA. It wouldn't even be a clone of a child that the original parents might of had because each child has a different set of genes.

Answer 3

Cloned things are genetically identical to their source. So, um, they are real as anything else... Hypothetically, the offspring of a cloned creature would be an "origional" because the child is not an identical copy of anything else. So, (hypothetically) the child of clones would be "normal".

Answer 4

The problem with cloning is that virus mutations can catch up with the genetic code. Even if it were possible for clones to reach adulthood, It would be too dangerous.

Answer 5

Wow all the problems with cloning and then this thought comes up. I would say they would be a normal person. It is an intresting thought though.

Answer 6

maybe you should go outside and get some sunshine. you are thinking about this too much...
