Opponents say "it's playing God", but they said that about almost every medical advancement from Birth Control pills to heart transplants, and even to genetically-modified foods. (Humans have been genetically modifying food and animals forever through selective breeding. In-vitro and DNA manipulation simply speeds up the process).
Why would or should cloning humans be any different? Identical twins are a result of cloning in the womb. Take religion out of the picture and you would have a hard time making the unethical argument.
What would be unethical would be cloning for spare parts. If the cloned person was treated no differently than a twin, a complete human person, then where is the problem?
