Inanimate DNA is found in every dead organism.

So cloning DNA from a dead organism is impossible?

"So cloning DNA from a dead organism is impossible?"

No. Why would you think that way?

Animating inanimate DNA is not only possible, it is axiomatic.

The issue, of course, is HOW that inanimate DNA becomes animated (e.g. via a completely natural process or via an intelligent intervention such as human-directed cloning).
