Human cloning should be legalized man!!

Instead of me posting all over just check the link.
What I want to discuss is--
Reproductive cloning.
therapeutic cloning is nothing like reproductive cloning... lets say when you saw this title the first thing that came to mind was 2 of the same people. well therapeutic doesn't involve that, Reproductive cloning would involve making cloned humans. This type of cloning is illegal in the us and everywhere else I think but if you like the idea of having a mini you wouldn't cloning be awesome?

Share your wisdom with me.
I'd find it hard to disagree any more, this is entirely unethical and not thought through at all, first off cloning is not exact enough to duplicate your personality due to environmental effects and epigenetics, this would not make a 'mini me'. Secondly this new person would be infertile, and it would be your fault. Lastly we have an over population problem, we do not need more people.
(Also I think this should have been posted in discussion, not sure, ask a mod or read the rules.)

Its my fault "you" have an over population problem?
I speak of the idea of having a clone. That in general would still be awesome regardless of over population, chance of infertility and personality. what do we really know about human cloning besides the 4 out of 6-7 billion people in this world who happen to be them? There is a chance of infertility even if your not a clone.

That's nice, the rest of the world is back here in reality remembering THE ONE CHILD POLICY. This is horribly insensitive, please stop trying to talk about a subject you don't know anything about. Considering china doesn't agree it's clearly not just an opinion.
