It requires an ideal environment and a medium that promotes this environment so really it's just like making a plant grow. Take a seed (the liver cell in this case), plant it in some soil (the growth medium), give it everything it needs to grow and reproduce like fertiliser, (proteins, sugars, water, enzymes, amino acids etc) and maintain it's environment, like a greenhouse (warmth, humidity, moisture, or lack of moisture etc). Control all of these and over time you will have a new liver forming in front of your eyes.
I understand that in practise there is probably more to growing an organ that way but that is simplifying it I suppose...
Incidentally the liver doesn't necessarily need to be regrown this way, because it regenerates itself normally. You can have 3/4 of your liver removed and it will grow right back. Amazing organ.
Now on the cloning topic...
I think that cloning for strictly medical purposes is ok. Buuuut choosing the sex of your child or making a twin for no reason is unacceptable. I'm all for stem cell research into like parkinson's or Motor Nuerone Disease or anything else autoimmune or cancerous or injury related is essential but there is no real need to clone humans in my opinion.
