Cloning

Also, there is something that I have unanswered, and that I don't know -- maybe nobody knows yet. But say if you were to clone a 40 year old adult male. Would you have to teach him how to walk, talk, eat, drive, and do everything all over again? Even if you could, would their brain capacity be one of a 40 year old man, or a newborn? Would it take him 8 years to lean all his, or 8 weeks? There's still a lot of unanswered questions about cloning, so I'm still really open to debate on my opinion.

Yes, you would have to teach him everything again. No, he wouldn't have the brain capacity of a 40 year old man (at least not until he's 40 years old). There really aren't a lot of unanswered scientific questions about cloning, and those you mentioned most certainly aren't some of the unanswered ones.

When you learn about DNA, you will find that it only dictates what you are born with and what you are capable of. The rest is up to your environment.
