MessoMesso...It's just a copy of yourself. A copy is still an individual being. Have you ever seen The Fifth Day, near the end? The clone of that old guy was released prematurely and the "original" old guy was still alive? THe clone is still a separate being. Identical, but separate. Like twins. Of course that's just my reason of going for an impervious mechanical shell to hold my brain instead of a clone to ensure my immortality, I don't know what everyone else thinks XD
What if there was a way to transfer your "self" into the new body?

There's that, but I don't want a squishy pink fleshbag for a body, dood.
Aside from that I've got anaemia and incredibly weak lungs so... I don't want that XD

Lol! i didn't mean it quite so literally! If it were to happen I'd imagine genetic diseases would be wiped out and the human body will have been seriously modified.
This is an interesting topic. I read a book once, The House of the Scorpion, by Nancy Farmer, and it involved cloning. They used clones to replace their own body parts, but one incredibly rich man raised his clone like a real person (all clones are given a shot that destroys their brain at birth [through a cow's womb...] but the rich man paid them not to do it). It was a very good book about how the clone wanted to fit in. Society didn't except him.
If you want to read this book at all, don't look at the spoiler, it gives away the end.

In the end, the clone escapes, and eventually comes back. Everybody died. The rich man had told them to drink a bottle of wine during his funeral, and all of the main members of his family died, so that the country would not have one of his family members as the leader.
In many respects this book could be what happens if we can have cloning technology.
