Well, yes, as I stated the Chromosomal Drift problem with humans is insurmountable. That's the stopper.

Where does it end? who should we clone? Albert Einstien? Brilliant man but I suspect there are several million Japaneese who would say otherwise. I find the whole thing just plain old wrong. Micheal Keaton would agree. (the movie Duplicity)

That's a movie, Rick, it didn't happen.
Human clones are unlikely for the above reason, and for other reasons too. For example, if somone were to clone you now, they'd be taking cellular tissue from which to make the clone that's already 50 years old (Okay, okay, just kidding, but you know what I mean
) so the clone would exhibit many of the symptoms of your age immediately, even if it were only a few months old chronologically, it's tissue would have age characteristics at the cellular level of a man your age. That's another stopper.
