What are some disadvantages of human cloning?


Some disadvantages of cloning largely have to do with morality and one’s own spirituality.  There is a major uncertainty when dealing with science and science technology.  A scientist will never be able to fully ensure what the exact results will be, if the results will always remain controlled, etc.
By the time Dolly was “successfully” cloned hundreds of embryos and newborns had already died.  To me that’s not successful.  When dealing with animals and human life I do not find it morally acceptable to expend numerous embryos and newborns for maybe 1 positive result or even a few positive results.  Clone of not we’re dealing with life here.
If the cloning of human beings proves to be successful in the future shouldn’t we wonder about human extinction? Or what may happen when a human clone mates with another human clone?
