It a good point that a clone, though genetically identical, is going to be raised in a different environment, and therefore, going to be a different person.
It would be interesting, and beneficial to science to see exactly how a clone differs from the original, to perhaps shed more light on the problem of nature vs. nurture. By having two genetically identical people, we can see just what role the raising of a child plays in their development. The study of identical twins has yielded similar findings, and clones would simply provide a better control comparison.
I believe that clonig stands to benefit not only genetics and biology, but other fields like psychology and sociology as well.
