Correct, cloning in even the simplest sense of a single particle state (let alone a whole human) is impossible in quantum mechanics.

Though cloning a human may be possible if the brain does not rely on quantum state. Obligatory "warm and wet" objection.

It sounds like state send is partial using the "phone" analogy.

Can there be triplicates of entanglement?

There are limits to how much three systems can be entangled with each other. It turns out that one system cannot be maximally entangled with two different systems. In fact, these types of arguments are often used in studying information paradoxes in black holes.
