    "With present technology as it is (which is a big given) it would take them about 200 years to clone something as complex as a human"

    Possibly the biggest complexity is the legal implication. The process of cloning a human should technically be no more difficult than cloning a cat.

    --In a quiet room with a light Coltrane playing in the background, take an egg...
    --remove and discard the eggs genetic material.
    --Insert genetic material (nucleus) from a cell donated by the subject to be cloned (either yourself or the nicest looking member of the opposite sex you can have agree to the process)
    --for nourishment and to make sure the egg doesn't die during the procedure, place it on a bed of room temperature tofu.
    --cover with another piece of tofu or... if no more tofu is available, a paper towel will do.
    --place it in a nice safe spot to grow.
    --Leave for 9 months while observing periodically.

    Anybody got a spare egg and a pair of tweezers?
