How close are we to a cloned army/police force for the world?

I think you will see robotics before you will see cloned soldiers. One thing the clone still has to grow up, the toddlers are not much of a benefit. You will basically have a slave population what will have be housed and fed even when they are not yet able to fight. Many people will eventually start fighting for clone rights.

This will be expensive and the investment results are in the future and has too many risks.
 
what would be the point in cloning soldiers the way that these dogs are cloned? theyd just be people, like any other people.

Not close at all.

These monkey twins are the first primate clones made by the method that developed Dolly

Chinese scientists have produced two genetically identical long-tailed macaques using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep, the world’s first cloned mammal. The feat is a first for nonhuman primates, and despite limitations, it could lead to batches of genetically uniform monkeys for biomedical research.

I think they would clone only the the best genetically for the tasks they would do. Pilots would likely not weight as much as most soldiers and would be downstream genetically from someone who could visualize three dimensions with vectors and such. I still think this would not work. They would be people but selected for birth for certain traits. Still a bad idea.
 
I imagine their would be human rights issues that would prevent the use of clones strictly for military usage.
 
The cloned police force better be smoking hawt then. I want cloned cops that look like Rachel Nichols, Tallulah Riley, Katrina Law etc, etc.

Well hell we’ll have cloned cops and soldiers by next year then....
 
One day, military will consist of clones, genetically modified humans, and Androids. One day indeed.

Man that would make for a pretty good movie!!...

Or a really shitty one too...
 
This seems like good news. At least we can throw wave after wave of clone fodder at skynet when it becomes aware.
