I think most people have a misconception that "cloning" is the making of an exact copy of a person or another living creature - instantly. For instance, John Smith walks into a lab one afternoon and then the next afternoon walks out with a duplicate of himself. If this were ever to be a realistic scenario, then it might have frightening implications and issues. But with our current genetic technologies, cloning means basically growing the clone in a test tube, and then you have an infant that will become it's own unique person or entity. Unique meaning that it will develop differently than the original entity due to differences in environmental, mental, and physical stimulation. As long as human clones have the same rights as natural born humans, then I don't see any problem with cloning at all.
