Putting aside any ethical qualms that people might have regarding growing humans for the purpose of extending one's own life, a rather more immediate issue springs to mind (although I will concede I may just be putting my ignorance of the subject on public display). Specifically, regarding the idea of
and then transfer your memories and what not into the new body.
Is any actual research into this being done? And, although I might be showing my Singularity-skeptical colours by asking this, has any actual research into this produced useful results?

At the very least we could try brain/head transplants. So clone your body and then transplant your old head to the new body. You'll have a nasty looking neck scar but you can just wear a turtle neck. Of course the ideal approach would be to just transplant the memory and physical state of the brain.

"All you have to do is transfer your memory". Right. If the concept of Singularity allows you to call any imaginable technology trivial, I call BS.
