Yes, I do it on a daily basis. Its a process of genetically changing somethings DNA or copying it. I usually do my cloning in bacteria (E. coli and Campylobacter), which is much easier than doing it in animals. But it can be done in animals and even humans too. It most places cloning animals is illegal, unless for scientific purposes. There has only been 1 or 2 cases of cloning humans – but these have not been proved.

Absolutely. Gene cloning (cloning fragments of DNA) is very common in molecular biology and has had various applications.

Yes. As far as we know, no humans yet but there has been a bunch of other species cloned.
If you were going to clone something, what would it be?
