What are some Ethical Issues with Cloning?

Many religious groups are against the work of Mike Archer and accuse him of ‘playing God’, his response to this is “People played God when we exterminated the animal in the first place,”. But who is right?

64% of Americans are against cloning, this may not be for ethical reasons, however, the Christian Bible does continuously repeat the fact that diversity within a population is necessary. Cloning does not create a diverse and varied population and this may be why so many are against the resurrection of the Thylacine.

Another possibility is the fact that when an animal is sacred, it needs to be protected and in order to be sacred they must also be loved, If any amount of these sacred animals were simply made up in a lab, how sacred would they really be?
