For this poll I am not concerned about the hows or the morals, I just want to know if you believe we can or can't right now, or if you think we will ever be able.

Not with the present technology. Even in vitrio fetuses need a female womb to develop into an air breathing mammal. If the inventors could create a “uterine replicator” (from Lois Bujold’s SF writing) it would have some really interesting effects on human society.

Since it would take billions of years make one out of scratch (and you would never be sure what you set out to make would turn into a human) why would anyone try?
Probably yes. They have cloned animals so I figure probably in the next 20-30 years they will be able to.
I feel safe in stating that from the OP's perspective cloning would simply not do. I believe the question requires a human being created out of only base elements.
