Human clones are genetically identical copies of a person created through a process called cloning. This involves taking the DNA from a human cell and using it to create an embryo that can develop into a new individual. Cloning can be done through techniques like somatic cell nuclear transfer, which has been used in animal cloning, such as with Dolly the sheep. The idea of human cloning raises ethical and scientific questions. While it could potentially be used for medical purposes, such as generating organs for transplants, concerns about identity, rights, and the implications of cloning on society remain significant.
