The closest answer is that, like natural-born humans, a clone's lifespan varies, although they probably weren't designed to live more than 50 human years (that would make a clone 100 years old).
Although the exact rate at which clones aged is unknown, it appears to be nearly twice as fast a natural-born Human and it is theorized that this rate increased as clones grew older—especially under stress, thus leading to a dramatic shortening of the clones' life expectancy.
That would be Kix. Due to his being frozen in stasis by the Separatists, he survived for 50 years after the end of the Clone Wars before being awakened by a pirate gang several years before the events of the sequel trilogy.
The Clones, in the war years, were mentally aged between 10 and 13. It was only their physical growth that was accelerated.
no one is infertile with cloning, all right. It has nothing to do with couple, because you don't have to be a couple to do this. It's just a technique to make a genetic duplicate.
On Dec. 27, 2002, Brigitte Boisselier held a press conference in Florida, announcing the birth of the first human clone, called Eve.
Their children are not identical, although they are more genetically related than the usual first cousins. They are more like siblings, just like our clones' kids would be. These cousins are more like siblings at the DNA level because both clones and identical twins have identical DNA.
Myth: Offspring of clones are clones, and each generation gets weaker and weaker and has more and more problems. No, not at all. A clone produces offspring by sexual reproduction just like any other animal.
If the average life expectancy of humans in the galaxy far, far away is similar to our own, it's about 70 years for men, meaning that clone life expectancy can be halved to just 35 years.
Organism cloning. Organism cloning (also called reproductive cloning) refers to the procedure of creating a new multicellular organism, genetically identical to another. In essence this form of cloning is an asexual method of reproduction, where fertilization or inter-gamete contact does not take place.
The world's first cloned mammal has gone on to greener pastures. Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell, died on 14 February. Her caretakers at the Roslin Institute in Scotland euthanized the 6-year-old sheep after diagnosing an incurable lung tumor.
Dolly (5 July 1996 – 14 February 2003) was a female Finnish Dorset sheep and the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell. She was cloned by associates of the Roslin Institute in Scotland, using the process of nuclear transfer from a cell taken from a mammary gland.
That would be Kix. Due to his being frozen in stasis by the Separatists, he survived for 50 years after the end of the Clone Wars before being awakened by a pirate gang several years before the events of the sequel trilogy.
I'm going to answer this in Canon terms. Currently, only one clone is certainly still alive.
Dolly the sheep, the world's first clone of an adult animal, died in middle age. But a new study makes the case that the extraordinary circumstances of her birth did not play a role in her untimely death.
This is part of the natural aging process that seems to happen in all cell types. As a consequence, clones created from a cell taken from an adult might have chromosomes that are already shorter than normal, which may condemn the clones' cells to a shorter life span.
Most importantly, the aging process of all clones except Boba Fett was greatly accelerated to ensure they would be ready for combat faster and constantly resupplying the army. Because of that, the clones eventually retired or died off shortly after the Clone Wars (as depicted in Star Wars: The Clone Wars) ended.
As the Clone Troopers started to suffer from their rapid aging and time it took to create to a mature clone, most were retired from service without much statement about what happened to them.
Clones age at normal speed. The "growth acceleration" is only during their infant/child phase to mature them to around teenage where they can begin combat training, and is done with growth acceleration pods, not alteration of DNA to make them grow faster.
yes, female clones exist in Star Wars. There are no known examples that I can think of in canon but logically they exist, in Legends we have examples. None were soldiers in the Clone armies though. No clone trooper could have been female unless some weirdo Kaminoan engineered one that way.
The case against cloning
However the process of cloning itself causes animal suffering and the animals with the highest economic value are prone to developing severe health problems – pushed to their physical limits, they are condemned to a lifetime of suffering.
On Dec. 27, 2002, the group announced that the first cloned baby — named Eve — had been born the day before. By 2004, Clonaid claimed to have successfully brought to life 14 human clones.
Scientists will continue to clone embryos in their quest to develop stem cell therapies, ultimately, their work will facilitate the birth of human clones.;Once born, human clones will be entitled to all of the rights and freedoms enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International ...
How Many Clones Can a Mother Plant Produce? Mother plants can produce a virtually unlimited number of clones. However, it is important to allow a plant at least two weeks of rest between cloning to avoid stressing it.
Moreover, most scientists believe that the process of cloning humans will result in even higher failure rates. Not only does the cloning process have a low success rate, the viable clone suffers increased risk of serious genetic malformation, cancer or shortened lifespan (Savulescu, 1999).
