I'm not really sure that cloning is a method of living forever. Certainly to those on the exterior of your mind, it would appear that you are a constant, but with the destruction of your mind in the first body, you would be left with only a copy of yourself. You would probably notice the difference when your consciousness disappeared or disolved or discombobulated (or whatever happens to consciousness when you die). Not knowing the limits of human consciousness, I would have to balk at such a procedure. Additionally, I wouldn't want to subject future generations to me; I barely fit in society now, I can just imagine how I'll be received in a few hundred years when everybody's blonde and a vegetarian.
There's another post about molecular transportation/reconstruction that explores a similar idea.
