Edit

Don't forget, that the age you are when you take a cell from your body to transplant in an egg is going to be the cellular age of the child you are going to raise from birth.
If you're 40 when you take a cell and have it cloned, your child will be born at a cellular age of 40.
There was a discussion about that when the cloned animals were dying at an earlier stage of life than other animals born conventionally.
That little age part of your cell doesn't "become new" again just because you stuck the dna into an egg - it's still a 40 year old telemerone or whatever.
Until someone figures out how to kill the age switch on dna, there's an age factor involved in replication.
