[BOW 2-3] Cloning: Extra Credit Question

Who has the right to have children, no matter how they are created? Who doesn't? Why?
All living beings, humans and animals alike, have the right to have children. Clones are made to be an exact replica of the DNA donor. If the clone if the exact copy of a human, it is still a human--just an artificial one. However, even clones have the right to birth children. The question now is, who should have children?
 If you have proper income, experience with children, shelter, and care skills, then you have the preferable conditions to raise children. Some children turn out differently from others, with special needs which require more special care. A clone would rarely reproduce a healthy infant. And even if it did, scientists will probably ruin its life by monitoring it and taking notes on it and using it to proceed scientific research. 
Maybe they''ll even do a test to see how a clone's baby's life will sail in comparison to it's parent. Probably even worse, I'd say. Could not be any better than what I wrote in my older post. A clone's life will always revolve around science. 
Science and ethics are basically different things, maybe even rivaling like science vs. faith. A clone of a human would not be able to resist having feelings and forming ethics. Oh, how conflicting the clone will feel. Like I said in my other post, the clone might kill itself from depression before even bearing children. While a clone has every right to make babies, it should not. Would you eat a pizza, when you have the right to, if it was a bad pizza?
