Interested in what way? Do you see it as a plausible substitute good from the perspective of your values?

Yes. If cloning were an option today, and I were forced to choose cloning vs. cryonics, I would choose the former.

What benefit do you see in having a clone of you?

I think by raising my own clone, I could produce a "more perfect" version of myself. He would have the same values, but an improved skill set and better life experiences.

You know what, I am quite content with a 50% faithful clone of myself. It is even possible that there is some useful stuff in that other 50%. </cheap shot>

Do you have any convincing reasons to believe that? How do you account for environmental differences?

What exactly would "choosing cloning" consist of?
