If you have a cloned blastocyst, then there are three things that you could do with it: just destroy it (therefore destroy a human embryo); implant it (therefore allow human cloning); or harvest stem cells from it while destroying it.

Personally, I would harvest the available stem cells. I don't agree with the notion that all human life and the potential for development thereof is sacred and must be salvaged/aided if at all possible. If it is to society's advantage to "sacrifice" a human embryo for the purpose of medical advances (quite substantial ones), then I'm all for it.
