Cloning means extracting the DNA from an organism and transfer it to an egg cell, which has been cleaned from it's own DNA, in order to merge both and insert the egg cell into a "mother organism". Eventually this mother will give birth to the organism. The organism will be identical to the one which got its DNA extracted (at least at the level of DNA).
So far, it's legal to clone animals, which has been done in a handful of countries for at least 5 species (though I guess 20 is more plausible). For what I know, the "DNA donor" and "cell donor" as well as the "mother" have always been from the same species. Maybe it will be possible in the future to go beyond the scope of species barriers.

Is there a limit to how far cloning should go?
Scientifically, there is not.
What might the implication of cloning mean for the future?
In theory, if we can get an organism that is perfect for our purposes (whatever those purposes may be) we can then make lots more just like it, by cloning. This can apply either to livestock, or to people. Maybe we would like to have lots of mathematical geniuses who can help us to advance our technology. Whether our cloning technology will ever be good enough for this to be practical, remains to be seen. So far it is a science fictional dream. But science fictional dreams sometimes do come true.
Is cloning human being possible?
It hasn't been achieved so far, but since other mammals have been cloned, it doesn't seem impossible. There are currently more ethical and legal problems, than technical problems (cloning is already illegal in some countries).
What are the ethical issues related to cloning?
It depends which species we are talking about. Cloning of animals and plants does not raise any new ethical issues. Cloning of human beings (which so far has not been done) raises new ethical issues. What is the legal status of cloned people - will they be granted all the same rights as other human beings? Will they be mass produced to be used as soldiers, slaves, etc.? Who will raise them? Will they be genetically modified? If so, are they still people? And so forth.
Is a plasmid a cloning vector?
i have no idea wat plasmid,cloning ,and vector means so haha 2 u
How far along are the government in the cloning process?
Quite far
Can food nutrition be changed from cloning?
no, they won't. cloning is the exact copying of object. nutrition from the original plant come from the specified structure of DNA, and that part will be copied as well, so it won't change from just cloning

What is the exact date of the first human embryo cloning?
As far as is known no human cloning has taken place to date.
How many people have died from human cloning?
There are no reported cases of anyone dying directly as a result of human cloning. The ethical and safety concerns surrounding human cloning have prevented it from being widely practiced.

Has anyone tried to clone a human?
so they could have butsecks with em hahahahah coll
How does cloning affect society?
> What are the social impacts of cloning animals None so far. The idea that a prize racehorse or milk cow or steer can be cloned hasn't had much of an impact. Cat and dog cloning are too expensive to be of much impact. ...and cloning leopard frogs? Hey, most people don't even know about that. Nobody really knows if cloning could affect our society but, we may never know and it could have been underneath our noses the whole entire time!
How do you duplicate master balls in crystal from mobile?
i have tried multiple mobile versions of Pokemon and as far as i can tell no cloning will work therefore there is no way to duplicate anything as you normally have to put the masterball (or other item) on a Pokemon then clone. so without cloning there is no duplicating.
Why do scientists clone people?
As far as is known no human cloning has taken place. Yet.

How come you lost your Kyogre and Groudon while cloning your Pokemon?
Using "cloning" Cheats is VERY Dangerous. it takes great care in doing so. (I personally don't like using cheats because it can damage your Gameboy/DS) Hope I helped!
