No. I would not wish that kid growing up with the parents pretending he's their dead son. Major mental problems would develop in a situation like that.

No and it is unethical. This is very sad. About a month ago the scientist that invented the Cloning of Dolly the Sheep said that it was his deepest regret.
The Cloned Child might look exactly like the one they lost But , the Clone is like having an Identitcal Twin and would have different characteristics and attitudes.
They should seek out a Greif Counselor and A Family Therapist to get over their grief. There are a lot of children in the world that have Nobody and they could adopt or if physically able have another child and love them...

Cloning people is not currently possible so the question is moot.
Besides wouldn't it just be easier for the couple to start over and have another child? Genetically, the new offspring is going to be virtually the same anyway and if he was only five years old there really wouldn't be a point to cloning him.
Waste of time and money at the very least.

No. First, cloning people is wrong. Second, cloning a human would not be like on TV or in the Movies. Unless the clone's life is EXACTLY the same as the original, the clone will NOT turn out like the original child.

poor parents, they must've really loved that child and still cant let go, but cloning the little boy is not gonna bring their child back unless they redid every moment the child went through to make him the way he was before

I don't think they'd be breaking any Laws by trying, but it's NOT going to happen. Even if it were Legally permissible- we don't have the technology to do it... I can understand their Grief... But some things are irreplaceable...
