Can humans be cloned?

from NO SUCH THING · host iHeartPodcasts and Kaleidoscope

Why are there so many celebrity clone conspiracy theories? Is there really a Melania Trump body double? Have scientists actually tried to clone humans? And, how does cloning actually work? We hear from an alleged clone himself, and talk to a biosciences expert to find out how feasible these theories actually are. This week features Chelsey Weber-Smith, whose show American Hysteria covers all sorts of strange hoaxes, moral panics, and odd misunderstandings. Also featuring Hank T. Greely, director of Stanford University’s Center for Law and the Biosciences.  For links to research and more, check out our newsletter.  And listen to our clone playlist on Apple Music or Spotify.  Have a question you want us to answer?
