My view is that a human is made up of their environment and nature so the whole theory that if you clone someone they come out exactly the same is ludicrous at best because it is the combination of environment and nature that makes up an individual. Unless someone can recreate the same environment than control the actions or reactions to life.

Creating a carbon copy of oneself will never come to pass because of the variables that exist, even if you copy the person down to a T it will still not come out the same as a that copy will have its own thoughts and feelings that will differ from the original. It is Science Fiction books and films that have played up this Identical Copy bit. One only needs to take a look at identical twins to see that even there in Nature's Carbon Copy example there exist difference between the two.

Whether cloning is right or wrong matter in its application. If it is used to create another human for the sole purpose of harvesting, labor, ** cetera than it would be completely wrong as it would be stripping human rights and liberties from a human being.

Even if the only thing is to clone body parts for the purpose of harvesting it may not be completely right either as the parts could not exist too well without a body.

Some proper uses of human cloning could be found in if it is used to give a child to a sterile couple, used as a method to give a child to woman who would die if she tried to give birth to a child.

Of course, all the problems that would exist and mostly the reasons people have against cloning is the vain use of cloning. Cloning oneself for the purpose of living past our pre-destined death.

Immortality could be another thread so I will leave at that and end it for now.

In short, cloning for a proper reason is good but it will be a technology that humanity will surely abuse at their first opportunity.
