I would have thought someone would have tried to clone a human by now but it appears that my prognostication was too early. Now I have to adjust my date and suspect a cloned human--or at least an attempt to do so--by 2016. No, it won't happen in the United States but it will happen somewhere.
The technology exists; it is only a matter of time before someone actually tries it.

I thought...maybe I'm having memory leaks and infiltrations...but I thought a few years ago someone announced that they had successfully cloned human cells...but destroyed them, didn't try to implant/grow.

They did, yes. I mean following the experiment to its conclusion in the live birth of a cloned human.
