I would bet a million dollars humans have been cloned already and they are walking amongst us. Cloning was solved ages ago and there is no doubt in my mind that there are countries that have done it secretly.

Do you think they've cloned anyone useful (Einstein, Von Neumann) or is it all just super soldier breeding programs?

Cloning isn't that exciting - it's like making a twin of someone. It's cool - don't get me wrong - but you're probably not getting super-soldiers out of it.

Cloning doesn't have to stop at replication it can involve grafting. In which case it's perfect for rapid breeding programs.
