[Watchmen] Could Dr. Manhattan use his powers to create more beings like him?

If his main problem is how his abilities isolate him from the rest of humanity, then would it be possible for him to solve this issue by creating more beings like him? Could he not use his godlike powers to perfectly recreate the conditions that made him? Maybe even spend a few years travelling the globe looking for a candidate that could survive the process, or even maybe even have a kid trained up that explicit purpose? Or would that even be necessary; could Manhattan not just vaporise someone with magic physics energy, put their body back together for them, and then start teaching them the ropes?

This question is less about Manhattan's mindset, and more about a potential limit on his power; I know there are a dozen reasons Dr. Manhattan wouldn't do such a thing - my main question is whether or not he could. Could Dr. Manhattan make more people like him (if he wanted to) or was his creation such a fluke that not even he could make it happen again?

He does this, for Manhattan's multitasking sexy science times.  These clones expire when they've fulfilled their purpose, as Manhattan sees himself.  Doc would have trouble giving such a clone free will, as he believes himself to have none.  

In theory, he could try to direct a creation to act on a "not me" directive to try to engineer a surprise, but you'd just get a Newtonian equal and opposite reaction, a sort of subatomic Satan.  Bad idea, probably.
