I tend to think that genius is largely genetic, too many great geniuses have
had pedestrian upbringing, but one of the great things about cloning is that
now we can know for sure. Clone Hawking, give the clone a good but not
extraordinary education, nothing better than that millions of people receive,
if when the clone is 17 or 18 he knows more Physics than you do, then the
age old question will be decisively answered.

I have no doubt that despite howls of protest, humans will be cloned in just
a very few years, and something like this experiment will actually be
performed.
