We're told that creating humans is meddling in God's domain - playing god is highly frowned upon, where I'm from, and it's considered highly taboo. There's also the problem of the soul, especially given that the most obvious reason people want to transmute humans is to bring the dead back to life; I've heard that one can call back the souls of the dead if they haven't returned to the world yet...but that's going against the laws of nature, it's more or less guaranteed to cause a rebound regardless of what you do, and at absolute best you're going to be left with a shrieking sack of organs that's going to die within a few minutes.
Basically, it's not something you want to subject people to.
However, that doesn't mean that it isn't possible - one would be fully capable of creating a functional human body if they know what they're doing and don't bother with the soul. Of course, any humans created that way will be more of a shell than a person, but it's likewise possible to implant that shell with a Philosopher's Stone - basically, putting someone else's soul into the body, which would serve as its container. (That's what the Homunculi are, where I'm from; they're alchemically created humans with powerful Philosopher's Stones containing a large number of souls providing power to the body.)
Central Command obviously doesn't want civilians creating their own personal army, which would be theoretically possible using that method, so they put a ban on human transmutation overall.
Of course, Central Command also doesn't like playing by their own rules very much, so you can just imagine what's beneath Headquarters.
