I'd like to be Mickey Mantle's clone with my legs. Cuz his were imperfect. And my liver, too.

Assuming no problems with the cloning process that cause you health problems, being a clone of someone else wouldn't have to be so bad. Basically its the same thing as being an "identical twin", except you where not born at the same time. One problem might be with expectations and pressure put on you as a clone. If your a clone of Michael Jordon you might be expected to be the best basketball player in the world, but while your genetics would be almost identical, your environment (starting in the womb) would not be the same, and you wouldn't in any way be the same person. You might not even be interested in basketball.
