I don't understand how you can segregate some natural actions as "god's" exclusive domain. I suppose the creation of new isotopes is also playing god. How can we (if we believed it was necessary) determine which activities fall within the definition of "playing human"?
It seems to me that the uproar about playing god is just people's fear about scientific innovation that they don't understand. This is not to say that I support human cloning necessarily, but it brings up many better 'REAL issues' than that.
