We need an experiment: create 100 clones of Terence Tao, wait until they become adults, and see how many of them become great scientists.

This sounds like a great experiment I'd love to see happen but that's also impossible in the current regulatory environment.
That's true, but i hope if more people talk about it, and if techniques similar to cloning [1] get used more often in medicine, it will become possible.
