Would cloning endangered species help? Can humans be cloned yet for people who want it?

Answer both questions pleae.
And no, I don’t WANT to be cloned.

It can be dangerous if not properly used as with any tool! Humans can be cloned in the future even it being very complex today. Eventualy somebody will manage to overcame all the problems.

Yes to a limit,only those individuals should b cloned who have not completed much of their life span as the dna present in old individual is old and by the process of cloning the dna is not renewed so the cloned individual would die soon.Same is the case with human being,wats the use of cloning an aged individual with so short life span…………..

cloning endangered species would do more harm than good. it is important that species reproduce by sexual means to generate genetic diversity. sexual means necessitate some sort of genetic differences - like the big one, gender. when one clones an organism, the result is a (very near) exact genetic copy of the original. so you might get some more animals but, as a population, they are worse off for lack of their genetic diversity.

from an economic perspective - its much cheaper to let them make babies the old fashioned way.

humans are certainly clonable by the available technology. it has not been conclusively established that anyone has done it yet AFAIK.

Any respectable researcher, or scientist would never even consider human cloning.
They may consider cloning for an endangered animal but NEVER for humans.
