RNA comes from DNA. you need DNA to clone someone.

To create a new person from chemicals, two DNA strands meet in the right place at the right time. They replicate, they entwine, they exchange pieces of each other. The result? A new strand of DNA, ready to clone itself into a new being. What begins as DNA-sex proceeds as DNA-cloning. After a few rounds of cloning, there’s enough DNA available to start building the person. DNA transforms into RNA. Small migrating factories translate RNA into amino acids strung together in a polypeptide chain. The chain clumps up into a functional protein. As the protein scientist says to the gene scientist, DNA may carry the blueprint, but proteins do the real work.
