  Cloning leads to amazing possibilities such as ability to harvest organs from genetically-engineered pigs to save human lives, to preserve endangered species, etc. The success rate, as of current technology, is lesser than 2% in animals. Do we want to create more failed specimens for the advancement of science - organisms that resemble lives - for hypothetical benefits?
  
  Dolly died of sheep pulmonary adenomatosis (SPA), a lung tumour brought on by a virus (http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/antenna/dolly/134.asp), which appeared earlier in her than most sheep. There are evidence that mice injected with human growth hormone became obese and eventually contracted heart attack. These acts of trying to play god seem to create a mutated future which is dangerous.
