Now, we all know (or at least most of us) that how the Replicator creates food, they transform Energy into Matter. Now, why can't they do that with a person? It would be a form of cloning. Just input the specifications, and hit "REPLICATE". Wouldn't you clone the person, and their brain patterns? They would think alike wouldn't they? (Then don't give me the BS on how cloning is immoral or whatever)

I think a human is more complicated then for example a bread but in theorie i think it would be possible

Present replicator technology works only for small, simple objects.
Theoretically, if a larger,more complex object were to be synthesised, the about of internuclear energy that would have to be overcome would be too great. There would be a molecular breakdown of the object as soon as it is replicated.
That's why starfleet can't replicate entire starships and crafts, and certainly not a human body, at least not till now.

Well see firstly creating a cup of coffee or a weapon well it just have non organic moving parts but in the case of human well there are a complex neural pathways which are probably difficult to replicate by a computer and the main thing is about giving life which i think a replicator cannot provide

Abhishek it sounds very Apt.

Theortically, if you had a complex enough computer and large enough repicator you could. However, anything in Star Trek is far from this. The only exectption is the transporter. A transporter is bascially a replicator execpt the fact that is decompiles already existing matter. In on TNG episode, they transport the Doc (Not Beverely the other one - I can't remember her name) out of the terriable sickness she had. Bascially, they replicated a new doc. This is the best example I can think of, enjoy!

a replicator is just a machine i don't think it can replicate living cells
