Why be afraid of a world with clones?

In a hypothetical world, otherwise like this one, where a
clone's chances of surviving through to "birth" and being
"healthy" are just as good as that of the average non-clone,
what new classes of threat or abuse or new sources of
concern do people imagine would arise?

For my part, I suspect there are none (I think they are
all resolvable by recourse to existing scientific data and
simple lines of reasoning on what are more efficient paths
for bad-guy dictators to take) I'm keep to turn on the light
and remove the "boogieman", but maybe I am mistaken,
maybe there is some new cause for concern I should be
aware of.

Any takers ? :-)
