the benefits are mainly connected with producing spare body parts for those who are in need. other than that the problem of infertility can be solved. people with physical disabilities or problems can be cloned with regenerated body parts or organs.
however, imagine only what would happen if medics learn to clone anyone by simply stealing a sample of their dna. a clone can be trained to commit evil deeds, for example, with the intention to blame the owner of the dna. that sounds ridiculous, but sophisticated. who knows, everything is possible nowadays.
