is the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human. It does not usually refer to monozygotic multiple births nor the reproduction of human cells or tissue. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning - human clones in the form of identical twins are commonplace, with their cloning occurring during the natural process of reproduction. Idea of human cloning was born in the late 90s in South Korea.

The ethics of cloning is an extremely controversial issue in a lot of aspects.
