I have thought about this before. I'm still not sure. If cloning is one or more human beings taking parts of another human being and attempting to make another human being out of those parts, other than the physical, sexual, and emotional connectons, how is that different from two people getting together to concieve a child? Esentially aren't both parties doing the same? Personaly I do not believe science will ever advance to the point of making exact replicas of any individual person, especially the spirit of a person. How would memories be replicated? Also, if what I learned about cloning in school is true, the way cloning would be done, to me, would be immoral.
My response would be as follows,
What makes a human a human ?
And based on my response would this make a clone a human ?
Let me start by saying that the heart of a man is his conscious, subconscious, mind, will and emotions.
Therefore, if he has a brain he has a mind, has a will, he has emotions, he is self aware - self awareness that makes us human is
found in the frontal lobe of the brain.
Therefore, a clone would be a person just like us.
For if he has a brain he has a heart and with the heart man believes.
So the clone would be able to believe or disbelieve in God.
Having said that however, God would consider a clone as a sin because the person would not have been created according to the method
He has chosen for humans to be created.
Anything that does not fit within God's divine order or plan or purpose for it, is a sin.
Let's take homosexuality as an example ... there is nothing wrong with two people loving one another or having sex with one another.
BUT, and this is a big but, but because it does not fit within the realm of divine design and purpose of creation it misses the mark and
is therefore a sin.
God is very clinical about this.
"Alright so I created that to do thus and so, hmm it is not doing thus and so as I want therefore it is an aberration, it misses the
mark of My divine perfection for it, so it is an aberration a sin".
God created us perfect, but we fell because of disobedience, we did something that went contrary to divine order, plan or purpose.
Sin is in essence any deviation from divine purpose.
And a clone would be a sin because that is not how God wants humans to enter into life.

This question has been asked every time science and technology advances. Frankenstien's Monster is the same question in response to medicine. I hope we continue to answer the question by remaining curious rather than retreating into fear.
Genetic manipulation is implied at Genesis 6, and may have helped trigger the event of the flood. So mankind continues to go down the wrong path and the quest for illegal knowledge, like in Genesis 3, seems to be the common theme as "good intentions pave the way to hell". Humans are messing with things that they have not the comprehension of the reality of, not only in genetics, but also advanced precision and high energy research.
That is my opinion, there is a greater motive to genetic research and demons are still involved with all this research as it aids globalization completion into world government, and it aids the agendas of that time, if possible. We do not know how far they will get, but it will get serious as per Matthew 24:21-22.
Do NOT doubt Christ and do not fall asleep with the world, this stuff WILL have a culmination and not the one typically perceived as "doomsday" way premature. According to the Bible prophecy they have to complete world government first. (Dan11:45>>Dan12:11)

To clone a person you must use the exact same process that the Father uses in making a twin.
So guess who owns the patent on that? Yep The Father. So what man is doing is no more different than invitro. God still is in control.
That clone will be like any child sired from a parent.
Now, before clones become a method of population, we should enact laws to safe guard them. As we should with all sentient life. Time to qualify And quantify these things before we do terrible things due to fear.
I find out disturbing that middle ages Christians were more accepting of life other than their own than modern ones. Many in those times and before believed in dog heads. People with the heads of dogs and bodies of man. When asked about witnessing to them a bishop said yes they should because surely all life comes from God.
Funny that they were way ahead of the curve.

I think genetic manipulation can serve great benefits for the human race. For example stem cell therapy can be the cure to a lot of incurable diseases.
As for religiously correct, personally, i think if we can improve peoples lives than perhaps? i dont know
