Thankyou Suave you are quite right and (despite me going off track onto the circulatory system) I have to apologise. I just got fueled up. Anyway, I think the point still stands, it is not cloning itself that can be argued against, it is the relationships we expect to have with the offspring that is the point of contention.
However, you do bring up the pertinent fact that cloning is always going to be an inferior method of reproduction (especially in the long-term) compared to the more normal combination of a pair of gene sets.
