yes clones do produce babies. clone is the copy of its parent. so it will have evry single charecter of its parent and they would be able to produce babies as their parents do.

I'm assuming you're talkign about humans, so:
In theory, yes. A clone is an exact copy of the original, so it would have all the same features, including reproductive organs. Granted, it would take time for a cloned human to reach child bearing age. And by that time, depending on the age of the original, it may be difficult. A clone will be born a baby, but its DNA will be the age of the original - as we age, our DNA also ages, taking on damages. So, if the original was 80, by the time the clone reaches 20, it could already be suffering serious age-related problems, and may not want to have a baby.

As a clone is by definition identical to the person who donated the cells from which it was developed then if the donor was able to produce babies then so should the clone - otherwise it wouldn't be a clone.

Depends. If the person cloned was a man for example and he was sterile, then the answer is no. Make sense? You are cloning a person that is incapable of reproducing.
If you clone a person that can reproduce, then yes, the clone ought to be able to. It would follow logic.

Since a clone is a reproduction of the original with all of the same genetic traits (unless it has been modified, but we are a long ways from being able to do that reliably) the answer is yes.

cloning is more than just possible. it's being done on a small scale world wide. the clones will be able to do anything we "natural borns" can do, including reproduction.

Actually no because they don't have all the exact dna as us because when clone if use hair then some of the dna will die and so that means that means they have a 0-95 percent chance that they dont have a baby.

We could definitely clone people,but at this point it's illegal !!

yes, clones are identical and can do everything the donor can do.

Identical twins are clones - can they have kids?
Congrats.
