If we're talking about having kids, I'd never use cloning as a method. The fact the world has been inflicted with one of me is enough, never mind making a second identical one. As a gay man, I'm much more interested in the idea of adopting a child. There are so many children in the world who need good homes. And while I would tolerate other people's decisions to go with a clone if that's what they want, I certainly wouldn't accept or approve, especially gay men, not when there are so many children who need loving parents.
Cloning as a concept is very exciting though, but is so typically attacked by pessimists as "dangerous" - you know, all new technology is "dangerous" in the wrong hands. It never stopped us building cannons and rifles, did it? Can you imagine if now, the gun had just been invented, and it was demonstrated in front of a crowd of people. Imagine what they'd talk about "it's far too dangerous this technology, imagine if some crazy guy had one of those, he'd kill hundreds of people!"
Point is, any new technology is dangerous in the hands of the wrong people, it's NOT a reason not to pursue it. I wouldn't want a "mini-me", and I wouldn't use it to create perfect kids or anything, but I'd support it as a new branch of technological development
