I don't have an in depth Sikhi answer but most christians object saying it violates God's will, which isn't in the Bible. 

We do know from Gurbani that nothing violates Vaheguru's hukam.

If it's done without compassion then I would say that it however is not in line with the teachings of Jesus or the Gurus. 

Sikhi already expresses compassion for animals and people both. Christianity expresses compassion for people, even if too rarely demonstrated by christians. 

If we do clone humans they will probably struggle for rights even more than natural humans unfortunately.

I guess it depends on what the cloning is for.

For example,  if you were able to clone a healthy organ, it could be used for transplant. 

People will to try quote bani to justify one way or another.

But I guess Sikhi would provide a framework. It's not an exact science but we would have principles in how to approach these type of scenarios.

I mean wasn't cloning essentially the power of Rakitbheej? 

[sikhni777]

If we look at from the light of God being the power behind everything which happens,  then we can say... God was behind all this cloning.  

One of the powers of Krishna was to divide himself into many identical selfs of himself.  Divine cloning and physical cloning.  The idea is the same but the ends which are achieved are totally different.

It is a bit mean for people to be selfishly attached to their pets auch that they try to get a similar looking one with worse health issues.  The soul would definitely not be the same though.

I think so too if there is a break in death cycle. How would it work though? Once body of animal is dead, how science is able to clone and revitalize it and make it animate again? Or cloning occurs while animal is at the peak of being dead at the border line of passing away? 

I think mostly cloning is done after taking dna of dead and manipulating rakht birej process?

Its Placing a soul IN......

[sikhni777]

Another newly created body. The soul leaves the original body. The dna creates another body. The cells of these multiply to create the body of the animal. The body will look similar to the original animal. However the behaviour will be totally different.  The soul comes into the body once it has been cloned and is growing.
