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

There’s nothing in science that says that we can’t. There are though laws, regulations, codes of ethics, etc against it in countries that most likely have the technology to be able to do it. That’s what is stopping it.
