there has been no conclusive correlation between telomere length and cloning. in some clones they are shorter than normal, in others they longer.
if making copies of copies of copies was bad we would ALL be fucked, because we are all copies of copies of copies of copies (this goes on for a while) of copies. while we mix up our genes a bit, a good number of species reproduce exclusively through cloning.
the biggest issue with cloning is that it reduces genetic variability and makes the species more susceptible to disease
