If they clone Santa Claus, he could get the job done in half the time and be home early. Right?

Zorro, my childhood hero. Out of the night comes the masked crusader who makes the mark of the "Z"!
Can copies go on ad infinitum?
Why not. It's the same thing as a great portrait that can get copies over and over through the use of modern technology.
Once technology breaks through the restraining forces of government and established laws, the sky is then the limit.
So, we may see one day, a near perfect human being who gets copied over and over, so that the planet will have only clones of clones and everything else will die off.
What a boring place that's going to be!

Yes, however cell age has to be taken into consideration.
As the cells age the DNA breaks down and the animals are more likely to have defects/deformaties/cancers. If you cloned a whole bunch of infant or fetal cells, it wouldn't be much of an issue.
Santa Claus would probably be a problem...and one that would be worse if you let Santa Claus II (as an adult) be cloned again.

It has already happened. He has several Clones actually. That is why even with the growing world population he is still home before the milk and cookies have setttled in his stomach.

In theory, yes. Where is it going to gestate, though?; we don't have artificial wombs!
