How far advanced are we in Halo Universe when it comes to cloning?Can we clone Master Chief?
Master Chief has already been cloned,but it didnt turn out so well.
While cloning human parts is possible and often done,the cloning of an whole human not,as these clones are not able to survive a long time.

Could the Forerunners do it better?If so maybe with some Forerunner technology humans could do it too.

I dont know.But based on that the forrunner could create life Id say that they could do it better.

Cloning as it stands in the Halo universe is wildly imperfect and not viable for more than a few months, at best. http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Flash_cloningAs suggested above, perhaps with more integration and reverse-engineering of Forerunner tech, advancements could be made. Though I’d bet that cloning advancements would be low on the UNSC/ONI priority list whereas weapons and defense advancements are top of that list.

The interesting part is,that we only saw flash cloning and its results so far,but about the traditional cloning there is relativly less we know.So it may be possible that the more traditional way actually gives results that are able to survive,but simply takes too long to be considered usefull.
Flash cloning an person doesn’t work well but apparently flash cloning organs is great in the medical field.
Hospitals use cloning to flash clone organs to save lives, however if they go as far as to clone a life, it doesn’t go so well. It’s kinda similar to how we clone today, but more effective/expanded.

The Forerunners had the technology to reproduce entire individuals from encoded DNA/RNA/silicon samples in data streams. They also can put people’s essences into new bodies via Composers.

You’ve actually kind of got that wrong, flash cloning a whole human will result in them developing things like terminal illnesses or various genetic defects, just cloning someone will result in no such thing, they’ll be as healthy as your average bog-standard human is. The two things are quite different from each other. Flash cloning is essentially growing a fully functional, fully developed copy within a very short amount of time (how short or long it is would probably depend on the complexity of just what specifically you’re cloning), with regular cloning things would be growing and developing at the speed they normally do. The Spartan II’s clones were all flash clones and as such were all grown to the same age as their originals over a very short time span, that’s why they developed illnesses and defects, because of the accelerated rate at which they were aged. If they were just clones and left to age/grow at the normal human rate, there wouldn’t have been any issues whatsoever.

I actually stated in this thread that normal cloning may give better results.

I know the forruners did it really quick, anyone remember that clip from halo legends where each race is made almost instantly. I think if the humans had beter cloning tech, they would just replace the spartans with clones. Which i wouldn’t mind if they had the technology from the show altered carbon. If you havent seen the show, essentially they downlaod your brain into a chip, then re download it into your new body.
i have no idea how cloning works in the halo universe, its not something they talk about alot. Maybe they do in the novels.
I mean, I know they cloned John (the Master Chief) when he was a child, along with other people, but the clones couldn’t survive for very long.
As far as I know, this hasn’t improved at all. Not a big lore person though so maybe there has been SOME improvements since then?

Is there any info in Halo media what happened to Master Chief-s clone?

Pretty sure The Fall of Reach details how the Spartan II candidates’ flash clones died from a wide variety of physiological disorders brought on by the large amount of mutations generated from the cloning process and growth acceleration.

As a matter of fact, at the very beginning of Hunt the Truth, Benjamin Giraud digs into the circumstances of John-117’s early life when he interviews Michael Sullivan and CPO Franklin Mendez. Without giving away too much, let’s just say we find out what happened to the clone.
I think if you search up Dolly he sheep and see hat process be made in a machine it might be the answer.

There are a few clones that for whatever reasoned lasted longer than supposed to. In Halo Legends, 2 Spartans met their clones. One killed the clone then himself then the female Spartan met hers but just sort of walked away. Can’t think of the names. Sorry.

Spartan Daisy from Halo legends, she wore a red CQB variant of the Mark IV
its safe to assume that medical science is far enough that they can produce clones easily. the problematic part of the lore surrounding the cloning would be how they got DNA samples of so many candidates without anyone noticing
