Dead Irish stallion was cloned - who should we clone next?

Today we had the stunning news that one of the world's most famous dead stallions, Cruising (IRE), was cloned.

Cruising is the Elvis Presley of Irish sport horses. To think that Cruising 'is alive' (genetically speaking) stunned the equestrian community as the story broke today.*

How long before we start cloning 'super-human' humans? There have been some important breakthroughs in human cloning over the past two years (blastocyst generation).

Who should we clone first?

And could cloning be the answer to Ireland's under-achievements in certain human sports?

"A showjumping stallion has been cloned in Ireland.
Two cloned foals were born at Hartwell Stud in Co Kildare in 2012 after DNA was taken from champion showjumper Cruising.
The retired grey died last year at Hartwell Stud which did not reveal details of the clones until now.
The cloned stallions will be the first to take up duties in Ireland when they begin work at the stud later this year.
Cloning of showjumping and event horses has been taking place in Europe since 2003.
However, there is a worldwide ban on the cloning of racehorses."

Real Cruising prices are going to skyrocket now ... Better sell my crushing mare now before the market is flooded with cloned bloodlines.

I know in the states cloned horses are not aloud to compete, don't kmow about Ireland, so they're basically just for the owners to make money through stud fees ...

As for cloning, we should clone some endangered plants or something else that is useful but doesn't have a soul.

As for humans, here's a different story. Why the hell do we need cloning when there are clearly too many a$$holes ruining the planet? How about the opposite of cloning : merging people? Merge two d1ckheads into one. Two pedophiles into one. Two scammers into one. Two d1psh*t politicians into one. You get the gist. Then get them all, and start merging them together. Overpopulation, greed, corruption and crime partly solved.
