Leave it to the "science" community for playing God!
Science cannot play God. They can duplicate cells. They can create cellular life. Hey, you create life when you plant a garden.
The problem that people have is, how do you explain a soul if you duplicate people? Do they have separate souls or the same? Did God crate both, or did man?
There is an easy solution. We can ALL stop pretending we understand what a soul is. It's beyond our silly comprehension. It's not something that can be proven by you, Joelocal, or disproven by any athiests/agnostists here.
It is what it is. A life force inside us. Where it goes when we check out, we can have faith, but we don't know. I believe there is some energy that we keep moving in, but I sure don't claim to KNOW the truth. None of us knows what a soul is, none of us knows much of anything. We're regurgitating things given to us by people with motives.
