I'm against it for the simple reason that we don't have enough resources to sustain the current population of the world, so why on earth would we create more people? It seems like a ridiculous idea to me. A waste of food, water, air and space.
Once created they would be a fully functioning human being and we would be unable just to dispose of them due to ethical problems that would create. They might be useful for medical/military reasons but the morals behind that would be very very questionable.

If we had instant cloning I would rule the world
Depends. It might just be dangerous for the clone. You'd have to know whether the clone would possess the same knowledge the original individual has which all came from years of experience and living. They might just freak out or something. I don't have any moral issues with it, but i would still think it's dangerous.
It should NOT be allowed!
I am for cloning if it is for scientific research.
Think of it this way.
With human activists crying all the day and people asking for more cures to diseases, the only way to produce a medicine that is capable of saving lives is to test it on clones.
If anyone disagrees, feel free to sign up ourself as a test patient at your nearby research centre.
I don't think we should because it would open up an entirely new can of worms for human rights. People will start saying clones have no rights, others will defend them, and it'll be one giant mess for society.
It certainly would, especially if we are talking about using them for risky scientific research that we would not test on "real" humans. A clone would still have human functions, feelings, emotions, and pain. They would still be humans in every sense of the word, the only different being that they were not born from a woman. We're not talking about robots here. It would be like saying that every child who was conceived via artificial insemination had no rights either. Not quite the same thing I guess, but a human is a human.
Humans are unique...I think clones are ridiculous
Cloning is expensive stuff. If there were human cloning it definitely wouldn't be too popular. Plus if someone is pregnant, they'd put someones genetics and stuff into the egg or w/e. I think that's what they do. Not like they'll be in a huge test tube. The person has to be pregnant with only the egg first XD
