      Human cloning has, as far as I understand, not been attempted yet due to the massive ethical implications of creating an identical copy of a Human.

      Yes, I don’t think they’ve tried to clone a person yet. As far as I know, usually when they make clones, it takes a lot of tries, and most of the clones don’t survive. So it would, like Ben says, raise a lot of really difficult ethical questions.
