they are selling cloned dogs and cats now so Dolly the sheep is ancient history

No,
It is a difficult process and usually ends up with aborted eggs and dying infants. In the current cloning process there are just more errors than successes.
I don't think any scientist would want to deal with the ramifications for helping "produce" the deaths of infants. There still needs to be much more research into cloning before anyone should even make an attempt at human cloning. That's not even getting into the ethical dilemma.

Claims have been made by attention seeking scientist, but never fully true. Even though the lamb was cloned, Dolly, many attempts failed in the process in the embryo state. The cloning process is extremely rough for animals with more complex chromosomes.
And they are still researching if cloning affects the body of the cloned. Many believe since Dolly died at the age of six from arthritis that it was cloning. That is illogical to think. The lamb lived longer than most, plus having a smaller living space, being inside for the most, shows to promote arthritis in animals. She died an older lamb from natural causes.

I think its a bunch of bullshi-t about 97 % of the people on earth are clones stalking the 3% who are not clones Im trying to find a human my self but these are human replica clones they have spiders in them frogs, salamanders, ants, maggots and other garbage DNA all f them trying to claim human rights for them selves. All of this is covered up by the bible and other religions not to tell any one until all of the humans are dead.

if clones were ever made legal for whatever reason, i think they should be treated with the same respect given to the original person. being a clone dosent mean that you cant feel emotions, and with emotions the clone becomes mroe complex and not just a simple copy of someone anymore, it becomes another person, someone else who was destined to live just not through natural childbirth. it would be un-ethical to treat them as spare parts or slaves, for even if they are copies they are still human.

No. Someone claimed a few years ago that he had, but it was proven that he actually hadn't. The sheep (Dolly) died because of a lot of health problems, most probably caused from being cloned. It's not something we can do right now.

Although I don't believe anyone has claimed they've made a human clone, I do believe in other country's they have most definitely cloned a human.

didnt they clone the sheep years ago?
i'm sure that scientists can clone a human but it will be a big controversy.

Maybe. It is a giant cover-up. If word got out that a human was cloned, well you know what will happen sooner or later.
