In the future if we could collect DNA of Lincoln, Lee, Grant, and other notables of history and we were able to clone them, should we?

We could bring back Lee, Lincoln, Grant and so many more to walk among us again...

I know a clone is a twin at best but still, they would have many of the mannerisms as the original ones, voice patterns, and other things as well.

Think about how they would be treated by the people of today...

To meet and shake the hand of Lincoln, Lee or Grant...

All I ask if we could should we clone them?

Amusing for all...

You all know that in time we (humanity) will master cloning. The wealthy want cloning and the wealthy always get what the want.

Once we master cloning we will be able to bring back the long lost dead...

Cloning is never an option, if allowed the rich and mighty (stable geniuses) would clone themselver for the assumed better of the globe.

NO, thanks.

p.s. George Washington would play timber tycoon all day, JFK might watch porn a lot

You can do that now... if you have his DNA...

I agree but it's coming...

LINK: to Bronco Bulls: https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2013/jun/30/long-dead-bull-lives-on-in-clones/

I want to point out that all Bronco Bulls are now clones of Bulls long past... There are other animals being cloned over and over...

Four identical sets of bulging eyes, flaring nostrils and blunted horns paced around their pen among the maze of swinging gates behind the Lewiston Roundup grounds, awaiting their cowboys Friday night at the Les Schwab Tires Chute-Out.

Mr. Slim, Slim’s Ghost, And Another One and I’m Back – all cloned from a previous generation of stock – arrived in Lewiston on Thursday from Louisiana as part of their 11-month journey away from home in North Carolina. The practice of cloning bulls is a relatively new endeavor, but one that is gaining steam on the Professional Bull Riders circuit.

Monkey clones
We can make cloned human embryos pretty well. Could we go further and grow those embryos into a baby? A clue came in January of 2018, when researchers in China cloned our animal cousins – monkeys – for the first time. Pictures of two cute baby primates, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, quickly spread around the world.

Wealthy rides clones of the same horse..

Wildcatting billionaires might be the easiest part to arrange. In March, the CBS program 60 Minutes aired a segment about La Dolfina, an Argentinian polo team whose players all ride copies of the same horse. The entrepreneur behind the horse cloning, Texas businessman D Alan Meeker, told CBS that he’s “been asked by some of the wealthiest people on the planet to clone a human being”. Meeker said he’d refused. His reason: no one would tell him why they wanted a clone.

I assume we know where their burial is... DNA last a few or more thousands of years... Only need a one healthy strand... Think of your historic hero's hands you could shake and even say a word too...

bad example - that kahless-clone is a reason to never try that

Oh my God... What and idea bring back evil people as clones and kill them... Like Hitler, Stalin, and so many others... What a way to achieve justice.....

So it may be murder but it's historical justice...
