The hysteria over human cloaning is just that-hysteria.
Economically, cloaning for human reproduction has no future. It will be expensive, and very few people are narcissistic enough to be to enthralled about mearly copying themselves. Even gays and lesbians are not enthusiastic about it, people interested in having babies enought to put themselves throgh alternative conception means WANT their offspring to be a part of BOTH of them. Otherwise they would just adopt.
It is however, almost certain that it will eventually be done. Just to prove that it can be done. There ARE enough people out there who would be interested in it to volunteer for experimental cloning, but not enough to make a economic go of it with humans (animal husbandry is a whole nother matter)
Creating "hoards" though is impossible- no replacement for a human womans uterus has been discovered in real life. Although places like China and North Korea (assuming North Korea still exists in a few years) will probably use it to try and keep "lines" of Olympic athletes, artists and scholars for national pride and propaganda purposes, creating a line of "super soldiers" wont work because of a insufficent number of women to carry them...
A far more useful reproductive use of cloaning technology may come from the discovery, announced just a few weeks ago, that embryonic stem cells can be caused to turn into either ova or sperm (although whether these are potent eggs and sperm capable of acheving conception has yet to be tested in humans)
