Setting aside the pizzagate issues, no I don't. I don't think it's fundamentally ethical. The problem is why bother cloning unless you are going to use those clones for something that would not be ethical/legal to do to a normal person; slave labor, organ harvesting, behavioral research or some other thing that we can't imagine yet. I don't mind it within a limited scientific framework (basically can we do it). I don't see a reason why this needs to be pursued on a broad scale and how that could possibly lead to inherently ethical action.
As an aside I have zero issues with tissue cloning and generally think this is where we should be focusing our efforts (basically growing organs for transplant).
