You are very correct in your analysis. For me it just comes down to: how well do we actually understand the implications of cloning and what they do. Imagine 50 years down the road we find out that eating one set of DNA isn't great for you and you need to mix it up (kind of like nutrients). Or we find out that our cloning process isn't exactly all that efficient and makes mistakes we couldn't detect when we first started cloning.
I don't sit here and pretend to understand even the tiniest bit other than the general knowlege about cloning so it's hard for me to argue on those points. I'll stay organic for as long as I can though until everything is "beta tested" and all the "bugs" are fixed. Then, if I'm still alive at that point and they still clone, I'll make my decision.
