And this wholly distinct organism would no doubt wind up having a totally screwed-up life. Just imagine... you're a perfectly normal young girl growing up in a middle-class household -- you probably told that these people raising you are your aunts and uncles. But then one day your family decides you're old enough to be told the truth -- you're a clone of their mother, who was murdered by their father. Your purpose in life is to be happy in order to make up for the long-dead woman who shares your DNA. No thanks, I'd much rather take the genetic lottery. And this is why I oppose human cloning -- I can't think of any circumstances in which growing up as a clone of someone else (probably someone much older) wouldn't suck.
