Why would there be any ethical issues?

Can't imagine any. I can't personally wait to see one in real life. It will take a few generations in that the first baby will be one half mammoth, one half elephant but the next will be 3/4 mammoth and 1/4 elephant, etc.

Whatever.

There is every reason to think that they are close enough to modern elephants that interbreeding would have been possible, at least under lab conditions.

When you visit the zoo you are NOT supposed to feed the animals. Of course, the best arguments against YEC are coadie's posts themselves.

Ya, there are more then a few contradictions in YEC thinking when talking about things like woolly mammoths.

Wouldn't this be the first step in including human beings in this project? That would surely be unethical, in my opinion.

One would assume since the clone was human, he would have a soul the same way as all other humans do. That same logic would apply towards his ability to gain salvation.

I am sure God's stance for this human would be the same for the clone as for any human. Why would him being cloned change God's stance on him? It's not like he asked to be cloned, lol.

Now, one could try to make an argument that the clone does not have a soul and therefore could not be human, but to me, that would be a silly argument, since we cannot determine where the soul is or how to measure for it.
