Plants aren't human or sentient,though. They feel no pain, have no thoghts or emotions, and are expendable. Human life is much more precious, making a human clone is different than making a plant one.
So? It's still 'playing God'.

What about selectively breeding animals? I could argue that animals and plants are sentient. I could argue that all life is sentient.

:
sen·tient Pronunciation Key (snshnt, -sh-nt)
adj.
1. Having sense perception; conscious
2. Experiencing sensation or feeling.
As far as I can see, all living things fit that definition. Good AI seem fits that definition too.


Edit: Forgot about you, Abe22!

I can honsestly say that it was 'playing God'.
If the lioness and tiger had copulated without human intervetnion then that would have been nature/'God' 'playing God', but it was humans 'playing God'.
