Before you answer, keep in mind that the more often than not "shady" goverment is rumored to be about 50 years ahead in technological advances when compared to the general populace.

50 years is out of control. Thats simply way too far advanced. Maybe 10 years ahead, but I doubt even that since most of the government work is contracted out.
This sort of thing has been happening for a few years already....people tampering with fertilizing eggs. You can actually have a childs genetic information manufactured for you for $200,000 per gene. Say you want a blue eyed black haired baby, and you and your mate both have a recessive gene that causes some major heart problem, neither of you have blue eyes but both of you are blonde. They can insert the genes so that your child will be healthy and have the desired traits for 600k dollars. When I heard this news i think they said the place was out of London, but there might be more of them by now, it was years back.
As far as I'm concerned, thats just as bad as cloning. Messing with the human genetic code is a bad step. Who knows whats going to happen when we attempt to make humans "better".

You make a very good point. Government based research is indeed some 20 to 30 years more advanced than the general public is "allowed" to know about. If the public knew what hi-tech toys the government (military/industrial complex) is setting on, they'd crap their pants.
Yes, I have no doubt that human cloning has been achieved and is being carefully studied by government based research organizations. Someone talked about the 200 + eggs required to successfully clone Dolly. The problem is not with cloning itself, it is with the current techniques. With a slight modification in mammalian cloning techniques, and that 200+ eggs can be reduced to 3 or 4, at most.
Why do you think that the world governments, especially USA and UK, pushed for rapid banning of human reproductive cloning technology? It wasn't because of ethics or morality, for certain. They know the truth about human cloning, that if ever permitted to take hold, it would literally destroy old well established social/political institutions. The "powers" decided that it is better to keep the people in the dark than to permit them to know the truth and; thus, have a say about how the future should unfold as a result of the nature of human cloning. When it comes to the subject of human cloning, the government isn't telling the people the "whole" story.

And they're sitting on UFO technology, and they have Elvis and JFK living together at Area 51, and Bigfoot lives in the grotto at the Playboy Mansion.
If the gov't was 50 years ahead of the rest of the world, wouldn't you think that they'd have discovered a source of energy that would let us be independent of oil? Or cured AIDS and other diseases? Or found a way to reduce or even eliminate pollution?
I am sure that someone, somewhere has tried it. But based on the public accounts of the attempts on other animals, cloning is very difficult, and getting a viable animal is very rare. Researchers have tried to clone monkeys, and failed.
It took something like 250 attempts to clone Dolly the sheep. Where would you get 250 female human egg cells to try to repeat this with humans? Where would you get 250 host mothers to carry the fertilized egg? How do you keep all the people from talking about this experiment?
I don't think it's actually happened yet. I think it's probably been tried, but they haven't succeeded. And I think you've been visiting too many conspiracy websites.

I bet G. Bush is a clone. He has to be, his brain malfunctions when his mouth opens!!
But seriously , It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the have accomplished human cloning!!

If they have, it's illegal. I doubt it though. I don't see any reason why humans need to be cloned. I mean, if they want to clone in order to harvest organs, there wouldn't be much point. They've already started growing human organs in animals.
What other reason would they have?

Undoubtedly their are clones in some laboratory somewhere
