Same as with human cloning or genetic tweaking etc, once knowledge of how to do it escapes there's no putting the genie back in the bottle, it's just a matter of time until the worst comes true from some less regulated place.

How many human clones exist?

How many would exist in an alternative scenario without regulations?

The answer to both questions is "probably more than you think." Which is kind of the point; a moratorium won't solve anything. Even wity successful regulation, governments do whatever they want.
