Send in the Clones

First of all, it's "surrogate". Second of all, the surrogate mother has nothing to do with the cloned baby's DNA.

Any human, cloned or not, needs to be in a uterus for the first nine months of development. It's impossible to bypass that and it probably will be for a very, very long time.

And no, it's not a simple fertilization (test-tube baby thing).

-Fertilization: Egg from mother is combined with sperm from father; the two haploid sets of DNA from each parent combine into a diploid set, and the fertilized egg is put into the surrogate mother

-Cloning: Egg from mother has [haploid] DNA removed, [diploid] DNA is inserted, the egg is prompted to behave as though it has been fertilized, and then the egg is put into the surrogate mother

These are totally different processes. I don't know where you get your ideas from.
