In answer to Joseph about the scripture and the  burial face cloth of Christ.  Please do a study on the blood covered cloth that has been kept in Spain ( city of Olievto?) from about the year 700 AD.  It has many points of congruence with the Shroud.  That means that the blood stains are very similar, although the Sudarium has a lot more blood and possibly lung fluid, because as some theorize, it was placed directly on Jesus' face and then the Shroud.
 
I don't think you have to believe in the Shroud to be a Christian, but it is special to me, because as a medical technologist, it helped restore my faith in Christ's resurrection.  The best way to have faith is without physical evidence (John 20:29), but some of us, like Thomas, needed some extra help.
 
I don't know how we got on the subject of cloning the Shroud.  Although they have discovered male, denatured (old/ancient) hemoglobin on both the Shroud and the Sudarium, I don't know of anyone who is trying to clone it.  I don't think there is enough genetic material there to try, and I would agree that humans have no business trying to clone it.
 
By the way, I am not Roman Catholic, but full Gospel Protestant.  As far as I know, the Catholic Church still has no official opinion on the authenticity of the Shroud.
 
Here is one fascinating fact about the bloodstains on the Shroud.  They are red, not dark brown as most old blood stains would be.   I have heard two scientific theories about why they are red.  The first theory is that the blood came from a tortured person, and therefore the blood chemical bilirubin was in high concentration.  The most recent theory was formed by Italian scientists who bombarded blood with neutrons to form a another molecular form of blood.   This form STAYS red.  Could Christ's physical body given off neutrons or other atomic particles as he resurrected ???  I don't know, but it might be one of the questions that I ask Him someday.
