And I want to add that cloned organs could be used for transplants also to cure incurable diseases. Of course it is sound awful, if we will use clones like kind a treatment for people, but on the other hand medicine system will make a huge step toward immortal future. It can help rejuvenate, reverse heart attacks, infertility, plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, and take away defective genes and many other important benefits. It does this by allowing scientists to remove or create new cells. Side: Using clone cells for medicine

Let’s take a look on our environment, it is hard to admit, but the flora and fauna of the earth dies, and practically we can’t do anything significant in order to save extinction species. Cloning will help to restore balance between humanity and nature. And again example with cloned sheep Dolly, it is really useful discovery, because now we slightly know how to clone animal. And with this knowledge we have to move on, and learn how to revive them. Revive what we have destroyed, correct our mistakes, safe our planet. Side: Using clone cells for medicine

Due to the first experiments, which were held with Dolly the Sheep, there was high tendency of embryo deaths. Only 1 attempt was successful out of over 270. Thus, it can be applied to humans. And if there will be question of selecting to perform cloning with the costs of human's life, it would be right to not clon one. Side: Harm to embryos
Well, your argument is based on ethical consideration, which is also important. Considering this side of the question, it is also unethical to clone people, because choosing the children's personality and making the identical and unique copy of a person can not be ethical. Side: Harm to embryos
The technique is extremely risky right now. A particular worry is the possibility that the genetic material used from the adult will continue to age so that the genes in a new-born baby clone could be - say - 30 years old or more on the day of birth. Many attempts at animal cloning produced disfigured monsters with severe abnormalities. So that would mean creating cloned embryos, implanting them and destroying (presumably) those that look imperfect as they grow in the womb. Side: Harm to embryos
