1. How is cloning going to lead to it?
2. I don’t see anything wrong with that. I would have preferred to be born without inheriting neurological disfunctions common in my family.

Itterated embryo selection need not be so immoral in practice. It also only requires the ability to detect genes for traits, not the ability to modify genes. Thats good since the former is easier than the latter.
If we understand that gene "xyxyyyxx" controls the colour of the eyes, and "xyxyyyxx-y" turns them blue. You could inject that code just before the eyes have been been developed.
2. How is it natural for a child not to have parents? The psychologically repercussions of are unfair and upsetting.
Not including many ethical problems and environmental issues.
Who's going to look after them? Care for them, live with them? Or is it - "here's your blankie, welcome to life, good luck"?
If folk found out you were a clone you would be an outcast.
We have freakouts over folks who wish to have biological changes, identifying genders and the like. Why would a clone be more accepted?
But it rubs me somewhat wrong when you write as if all clones would have had that done to them. Ok, I suppose it's likely, but it's not the same thing. Maybe we should find a more specific term like "custom clone" or just "custom people".
