They couldn't clone a sheep, they certainly can't clone a human. Plastic surgery and dental work they can make a double I would guess.

I'm familiar with the story. It was a hoax.

"Wilmut confided that he had a secret to share. As part of a larger study, he and several co-workers had successfully birthed a lamb in the lab—not from egg and sperm but from DNA taken from an adult sheep’s mammary gland. They had cloned a mammal. “Crikey, I was stunned,” says Trounson, who is now—as then—a stem cell biologist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. He remembers sitting down hard on a nearby stone. It was a warm day but Trounson felt a chill pass over him as he realized the implications. “It changed everything.”

Cloning a mammal defied the scientific dogma of its time."
