I'm for cloning, although I don't see much point to it. I mean cloning a specific organ would be incredibly useful and I think that may end up being the peak of what cloning can do for us. Because really, what would be the point of having a clone? It would always be X amount of years behind the original person, and studies on indentical twins (which in essense are clones of each other) have shown that although they may turn out similarly, they do have their own interests and personalities. So why waste so much money on making a clone is what I don't understand.
As for the "genetic enhancement" factor, well, if you genetically enhance it then it wouldn't really be a clone anymore, it would be a person who's based on your DNA but with improvements. I'm not for genetic enhancement. I'm all for fixing genetic diseases and the like, but I don't think it's right for someone to be able to say "Ok, I want my kid to have an IQ of 130, be able to run a 5-minute mile, and be about 6 feet tall."
