Any cell reproduced from a human is a human individual.

No.

The current cloning techniques are not perfect, but they will get better in time. Even in the current form they could likely produce a fully fertile and functioning adult from a spit cell.

Cloning would be changing the cell in the saliva in to something different then what it currently is. You can't just take a epithelial cell that was floating in saliva, place it in a womb or other relatively controlled environment, provide it with food and water, wait a few months and get a baby.
