Something tells me this doesn't bode well.
Scientists will be for it.
Some God - obsessed christians will get off their arses to fight against it. It'll be like Darwin's: Origin of Species all over again.
I'm all for it, but soon, these scientists will want to clone bigger and stronger and older things, which means: Yep, you guessed it. Dinosaurs. And I don't think many people would want massive rampaging Therapods slaughtering their local population. Even herbivores can be dangerous you know. Of course, some people will say: "But little beaked dinosaurs like Lylleanosaurus(sp?) or Protoceratops can't do any harm?"
Wrong.
They may not cause much physical harm, but these reptiles have a large appetite to fill. Combine this with the 'food crisis' and you get even less food to eat cause you've got to fork out a shedload of foliage to feed 3 dinos!
Which brings me neatly to my next point: Most of the food these dinosaurs would eat have, well, died out. Sure, you can give them ferns and mosses, but there won't be enough of that in the world. I don't think many people would want to travel to a forest at 6 in the morning to pick up thousands of small plants. It's back-breaking work!
There again, we might want to clone some earlier beasts, like Mammoths or (what's the giant deer called again?) Cave Bears. Even mammals like the Large shrew or the small deer.(Damn my memory!
)
That's my view.
