Yep, it’s the “probably” that creates the ethics conundrum. We won’t know how to improve the process without testing the process, and we cannot ethically create “test” humans like that scene in Alien Resurrection where all the failed Sigourney clones are sitting in jars, suffering and begging for death.
Hands down is already happened (Speculation here). Asking forgiveness has always been easier than permission. Look at the Chinese girls genetically altered to supposedly give them an hiv resistance. They got in trouble sure but they did it before a law was passed saying they couldn’t. No law technically exists to stop human cloning. Just precedence that we all too well know means nothing anymore.
I remember all the headlines about cloning “Dolly the sheep” years ago, then that was it. Discussion of the tech in the mainstream stopped. So I always assumed that at that point there were sketchy human trials ongoing and its just not advertised.
Did not know that. How far are we from cloning humans? xD
We could probably do it now ethics aside

Dolly was in the 90s… So much has happened in that field since then.
