Depends on a few things: Can you make the clones anencephalic, so you become neutral in respect to them? If you kill yourself, will someone else be conditioned in your place?
Well, I'm not sure making the clones anencephalic would make eating them truly neutral. I'd have to examine that more.
The linked situation proposes that the babies are in no way conscious and that all humans are conditioned, such that killing myself will actually result in a fewer number of people happily eating babies.
