Apparently the UN is worried about the human rights of potential human clones, since we are, allegedly, on our way to creating a fully functioning human cloned organism.
I don't know what their sources are, but the difficulties associated with cloning, let alone developing the clone into a full organism are humongous. I really doubt we will have our mirror images walking the street anytime soon.
Moreover, there's no choice to be made. The choice is clear: no reproductive cloning. Tissue cloning is sufficient for creating organs for transplants or creating "reserves" of tissues and cells ready to be used when necessary. Reproductive cloning is the mere flight of fancy of a diseased mind.
The UN should use the money it is given a bit more productively methinks. There are human rights to worry about RIGHT NOW.
