Cloning
The rabbi writes in his book “God Plays Dice” that the reason for prohibiting human cloning is the understanding that this right is reserved for God alone. I don’t know what value to categorize such a prohibition, but it is not a moral value.
The question is who set the boundary for humans? God wrote for us in which place which rights He kept for Himself and which rights He gave to humans, (and He gave the earth to humans).
Alternatively, many medical treatments are based on the same principle of cloning, even if it is not full cloning. The question is, why don’t we ban those treatments, and are these treatments not reserved for God?

Maybe I didn't understand and your intention there was to bring up the argument of the forbidders without agreeing with it.
Indeed. I mentioned this argument as an example of religious terminology used by atheists. The argument itself is utter nonsense, but I did not address the question of cloning itself there.
