There is a possibility that there will be a law making the cloning of a human being illegal in the USA. apparently a lot of people think there is something immoral or unethical about cloning a Human.
What is really wrong with it? A clone is pretty much equivalent to the twin of the person who was cloned, except of course for an age difference.
Is there something wrong with having a twin? Is it because the original DNA was not created by combining genetic material from two different people?
If somebody wanted a couple of clones to be used as needed for spare organs, it would offend me. However, it would not offend me any more than killing a non clone to get a heart or lung.
From the viewpoint of ethics, creating a clone does not seem much different from some of the techniques used to help infertile people have children.
