Background: A person with more than one set of DNA within their body is called a genetic Chimera. Chimerism is (supposedly) rare, but there have been a handful of cases where someone will even fail a DNA test, because the DNA sample taken from their body differs from the rest of their DNA. For example, a Chimera might take a DNA test, and the results might show that the DNA was from one of his siblings – even if he is an only child.
One potential cause of Chimerism occurs while in the womb. Like when the mother is pregnant with twins, but later one of the twins has seemingly vanished. When this happens, usually it means one of the twins died in the womb, and its remains were absorbed into the surviving baby.
When this occurs, it's possible that the dead twin's DNA might survive within the survivor's body.
So, hypothetically… if the surviving twin managed to retrieve his dead twin's DNA from his own body, could he use that DNA sample to make a clone of his unborn sibling?
Let's assume that in this scenario, cloning is not controversial and is completely legal, acceptable, and safe.

I would wager that the first human clone was born years ago by now. Could even be 10 years old by now. The technology has existed that long, it would be weird for someone not to do it.
