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

Question

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?

Answer 1

Imagine the weird world where celebrities were selling cells to make clones of themselves to prospective parents. Rather then five girls with the same trendy name from that year, your class would have five clones of Jennifer Aniston.
