I dont think cloning should be legal for identity issues. If you have an identical clone with the same dna and everything, how are you supposed to identify yourself? That might not seem really important at first, but what about law enforcement? There would be 2 or 3 or 4 of the same people running around at one time, they might even live in the same area. You could be impersonated or in a court case, how can you prove your innocense via DNA testing if you have identical clones around? Also, how can criminals get convicted if they convice a jury with reasonable doubt simply by saying, 'yeah my clone lives a block away and goes to the same school/work, he could have done the crime, not me.' I think it would be a nightmare.
