eli5: Why can’t we create human clones yet?

1.02K views

I’m not a biologist or scientist, but I’m genuinely curious why we can’t create clones of people?

With the computational power we have these days, shouldn’t we be able to compute all options to understand how things work from the foundation up?

Is the research cost too high? Or is this already being done?

We don’t because there’s no particular *use* or call for it. Clones are just completely separate people with their own mind who have the same genetic markers/make up. It’s not someone with the same brain or a way to “elongate” one’s life like in movies.
