Current cloning technology is not good enough to reliably clone anything. The major reason for this is the common fear of "playing god."

Also, the cloning attempts that hit the news a few years ago with animals were not true clones.

If cloning was allowed would a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone have a right to clone itself?

One would hope that if cloning were allowed, the clones would be defined as people. If they are people then they should have the same rights as people who are not cloned. If people who are not cloned have the right to clone themselves then those who are should have it as well. The word "right" can have a legal and an ethical aspect. The question might be talking about whether the practice is legal or whether it is moral. The Legal Profession treats that sort of question as money in the Bank and will vigorously defend you right to your opinion. The Religious Ethics community will likely oppose any such question until they have debated the question for several years.
