Is human cloning scientifically possible?

>> No.14862171

It's very possible and has almost certainly been done already, at least a few times. At least in experiments where embryos are cloned and then destroyed. Can't say if any human clones have been raised and entered society

Yes but expect short lifespans due to cancer and insanity

Depends on what "scientifically" means. If you mean through engineering, then yes. If you meant through scientists/ethics board that control the science comittee? Then no.

They have vat cloning and soul transfer now. it's part of how hollywood operates

>soul transfer
Even if this was attempted and was apparently successful, how would anyone be able to verify it?
It's an impossible ethical question to answer. No one involved would know whether the original person's consciousness was truly transferred into the new body, or if they were merely killed, and they do not have any continuity with the copy that was created

Why would it NOT be possible?!

Make a twin? or replicate a mind? The second is order or magnitude harder probably.

im pretty sure they cloned Jamie Pressly to make Margot Robbie who is more than ten years younger.

>> No.14863180

>>14862758
Not sure it helps answer the question. A copy of a person's brain, simulated within a computer, could have the subjective experience that yes it is that same person's consciousness, with all the same memories and everything.
But from the perspective of the person who was copied or allegedly "transferred", they could still be dead. Ended. Nothing to do with the copy.

We already do it with a bunch of other species. We just don't do it with humans because 'controversy'

other people do that, you do not participate in the effort. taking credit for other people's labors is intellectual property theft
