I mean, the way Sophie was genetically tweaked is very similar to the way you would create a clone from another human. It hasn't been done before on humans for many reasons, but the scientific (as opposed to moral) reason that it hasn't happened is the spindle proteins are located to close to the nucleus in a human cell, which makes it hard to do the genetic tweaking and replacement of the nucleus necesary to create a cell that can become the clone. But, there would also be the fact that the clone would have be implanted (like Sophie) in a mother and be born and grow up like any other human, so I don't know how he would be old enough. Unless, of course, this is entirely fantasy and they do it by some other means, but that wasn't the case with Sophie's genetic tweaking; that was pretty much scientifically accurate, actually.

Wow that was long and nerdy. Well, people, you just met the other side of yours truly, Bib·li·o·ma·ni·ac.
