¿Cómo puedo clonar correctamente un objeto JavaScript?

Object.prototype.clone = function() {
  var newObj = (this instanceof Array) ? [] : {};
  for (var i in this) {
    if (i == 'clone') continue;
    if (this[i] && typeof this[i] == "object") {
      newObj[i] = this[i].clone();
    } else newObj[i] = this[i]
  } return newObj;
};

function clone(obj) {
    if(obj == null || typeof(obj) != 'object')
        return obj;    
    var temp = new obj.constructor(); 
    for(var key in obj)
        temp[key] = clone(obj[key]);    
    return temp;
}
