Soon it may be scientifically possible to clone humans. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

There has been a controversy about the merits and the demerits of cloning. Personally, I think the disadvantages of cloning outweigh its advantages.
First
,
this
technology is still unsafe. It has been reported that many clone
humans
are born with disabilities; most of them have either physical issues or psychological issues. At
this
point, if there is an increase in the number of clone
humans
, it can violate the moral code.
Besides
, were those clone
humans
to born with psychological problems, it could be a curse to the harmony of society.
For example
, they can harass people in public areas or damage the infrastructures unreasonably.
Second
, it has a huge impact on the structure of social relationships. As we know, in order to form a family. which requires two beloved people and their off-springs.
Nevertheless
, if
humans
can now cross the barriers of human physiology and bear children, it can alienate men from women and cause a gulf between different genders. Because women and men are no longer relied on each other to bear children.
On the other hand
, cloning has some advantages.
For instance
, global famine can be solved to a large extent. It's expected that cloning makes giving birth easier;
therefore
, if
this
technology is used in our daily life, the number of livestock will increase considerably. As a consequence, factories can produce more meat, which can be used to rescue countries with domestic famine, and lessen global famine. In conclusion, I believe the demerits of cloning outstrip its merits.
