We know how to make ~100% copies of software sure, but hardware? I don’t think we can do single-material solid copies with an accurracy with much more than µm resolution.
We can ‘copy’ (clone) a lot of life-forms. So you might mean that kind of hardware copy. I don’t know the mutation rate of animal cloning and it is probably good enough to call it ~100% on the DNA-level. But the resulting phenotype often contains errors that make it questionable to call the result a 100% copy.
I would hazard that cloning comes a lot closer to 100% fidelity than a child comes to 50% fidelity. In any case, one cannot transfer their self to clones or children with our current means—I doubt one can even convey 1%.
Upvoted for cuteness.
However, my understanding is that technology has already reached the level of making copies with ~100% of hardware fidelity.

That entierely depends on how to measure this.
