[Watchmen] Couldn't the US Gov (or the Ruskies for that matter) make another Dr. Manhattan?

It's not like he was created by magic or anything, he's the result of a well-known set of circumstances. Couldn't they repeat the experiment over and over again? Even if they get a 1% chance of succcess it might be worth it.

Jon Osterman was a brilliant scientist, someone who had grown up observing his father work with intricate machinery, and someone who had plenty to cling to life for. That's already gonna be a pretty rare set of circumstances, now consider how many people that fit all those criteria are going to want to volunteer for what he'd been through. And while you're at it, consider what might happen if you try to force someone who didn't volunteer to do that? You really wanna create a demigod who's pissed at you for ripping their body apart atom by atom?
