Yes, it would be considered as a real human IF it has the properties of a human, emotions like a human, and senses of a human.

Idiot test:

Suppose two objects are placed before you. The one on the left is a can of Coca-Cola. The one on the right is completely identical to that can, right down to the subatomic level. Both cans have the same artwork, the same metallurgical composition, and the same opening mechanism. Inside, they contain the same quantities of the same ingredients. When you open them, they fizz in the same manner. When you drink them, they taste exactly the same. They are entirely identical and indistinguishable.

Now, say you've drank both delicious cans of Coke before you're informed that the Cokes were not identical in history: while one was produced in a classic soda factory, the other was cloned in a lab, all unnatural-like.

Do you care? Do you suddenly feel different about half of the quantity of Coke you've consumed? Does knowledge of the Coke's past make you feel squeamish, despite being unable to pinpoint a pertinent (if any) difference between the Cokes at all? Then congratulations, you're a bona fide retard.

Yes a cloned human would be a real human because it would be an exact copy of a real human causing it to also to be a real human.

I think they would be insulted if you call them a 'fake'. It would be yet another case of speciesism, but in this example, things would be escalated for the clone involved would be identical to a human.

The Cloned Human would also be endowed with an immortal soul quite different and separate from the soul of the Donor Human.

Side: Yes

But very similar. A cloned human would be intelligent and be a loyal servant.

What does it depend upon my friend?

"It depends" is hardly a debate.
