Do you think it will become possible to create opposite sex clones in the future? A male clone from a woman or a female clone from a man?
I think it will become possible. To create a female clone from a man you could take his cells and turn off the Androgen receptor genes. So the person will develop as female and will have Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. A sterile woman with XY chromossomes.
To create a male clone from a woman it would be needed to take her cells and add/create the Sry system genes and put them into the XX chromossome. So there will be a male clone from a woman.
