      I don’t know. They cloned a sheep a few years ago so it probably is, but the question is should you clone yourself? One of the big things in science is asking whether it is moral or ethical to do something and convincing others of your opinion is an invaluable skill.

      Not really my area of expertise, but I think it’s technically possible – as Brendan says, they’ve cloned a sheep so why not a human? There are a lot of reasons why it might not be the right thing to do though – just because we can do something it doesn’t mean we should.
      Iots of me’s would be a good way of getting things done more quickly though!
