Cells’ uniqueness is explained by epigenetic. And as already said, this problem could be eliminated. You can take a new borned baby stem cells with zygote's DNA almost in every clinic nowadays.
The main problem is that almost all finding are banned in this field. I guess modern countries are incompatible with cloning. It is too game changing.

No, I think cell differentiation is a completely different topic -- gene expression/inhibition and cell specialization has nothing to do with random errors to DNA, as far as I understand. So the problem is not actually solved at all. Especially since we are not usually trying to clone babies, whose stem cells would have incurred less damage.
- meshr 9y agoYes, I meant “random errors to DNA”. I don’t think they have quantum nature. So the problem is how good you can reproduce environment. I can see no obstacles why we can’t solve this problem. Baby stem cells are freezing for future use. It is real. it happens now. BTW, you can get exact DNA copy in case of IVF if you think it is crucial.
