It does so by exceeding the limits of the stewardship given to the human race. The stewardship granted to the human race, as described in the two creation accounts in Genesis , was primarily over nonhuman creation. With regard to human affairs, the Ten Commandmentsas interpreted by Jesus in the New Covenantoutline the mutual responsibility that should exist among humans. The thrust of these and related passages in the Book of Leviticus is that human life and health are to be conserved, which implies that fundamental human activities such as reproduction are to be conserved as part of God's design. There is no evidence that humans were given the power to alter their nature or the manner in which they come into existence.
Cloning involves the deliberate duplication of the genome of an existing person.
One might see here the development of a narcissistic attitude on the part of the nuclear donor which could impact negatively on the cloned person. Cloning also radically alters the manner in which a new human person is brought into this world. By sexual intercourse a husband and wife are united in body and soul to procreate another human being. At the same time, that physical and spiritual act both expresses and strengthens their mutual love. In effect, such cloning would be to fashion a human being in the image of the woman.
