Compassion in World Farming have set up a petition which they plan to deliver to the PM tomorrow (Fri 6th Aug) if you are against cloning and would like to add your support:

Hadn't thought about the welfare implications of this before, but something within my basic sense of right and wrong tells me that cloning is not right...and I like the way CIWF put it: 'when the individuality of the animal is lost, factory farming begins'
