Edit
Cloning of animals is not an easy thing to do. What you must do, is get a fertilized egg, and replace BOTH sets of chromosomes with that of your intended source.

This means that IF we were to clone you, we would need a fertilized human egg, we must remove the two sets of chromosomes, and replace them BOTH with your chromosomes.

While the task is a difficult one, it is also a dangerous one, because with humans, by law, you cannot kill the mistakes. Mistakes can easily be made, and it would be a lot more frequent in cloning than it would be when you interbreed family members. The reason is that the chromosomes would be exactly identical in cloning, while interbreeding with family members will give you some differences.
