As with any ethical issue there are (at least) two sides to every debate, but in this case the terminology might confound the issue.

Cloning a gene simply means to make a copy of it and put it somewhere else. It could end up in the same organism (to over-express), or a different one (to heterologously express).

So far cloning genes into human embryos is universally unacceptable, but cloning genes into plants and microbes is common in research settings. There are also some animals that are genetically modified, which is wrong for some people, who object to experimenting on animals to begin with.
