Christianity
Christians would oppose this because they would say doing such things would be playing God. They believe when one dies one goes to heaven or hell and cloning a human that is dying would be in fact going against the bible because Christians would say the process is ungodly.
While the Bible does not specifically deal with the subject of human cloning, there are principles in Scripture which may shed more light on the concept. Cloning requires both DNA and embryo cells. First, DNA is removed from the nucleus of a creature’s cell. The material, bearing coded genetic information, is then placed in the nucleus of an embryonic cell. The cell receiving the new genetic information would have had its own DNA removed in order to accept the new DNA. If the cell accepts the new DNA, a duplicate embryo is formed. However, the embryo cell may reject the new DNA and die. Also, it is very possible that the embryo may not survive having the original genetic material removed from its nucleus. In many cases, when cloning is attempted, several embryos are used in order to increase the odds of a successful implantation of new genetic material. While it is possible for a duplicate creature to be created in this manner (for example, Dolly the sheep), the chances of successfully duplicating a creature without variations, and without complication, are extremely slim("What Is the Christian View of Human Cloning?").

Judaism
Jewish religion believes that humans need to improve what god has created. They believe cloning maybe a improvement to society. They believe that therapeutic cloning is open for discussion because that process is not meant for actual cloning a human embryo to make another human being but, instead is meant for the purpose of harvesting cells in hopes of learning about human development and curing diseases. This would help society out tremendously but, what Jews believe is not right is the formation of another by cloning embryos. They share a similar believe to Christians because bring a life into the world unnaturally they also feel is wrong and it holds too much risk. "Tampering with human lives is not acceptable if in the embryo stage," one Jewish scholar said.
