Fifteen States have laws regarding human cloning. The issue was first addressed by California, which banned reproductive cloning, or cloning to become pregnant, in 1997. Since then Arkansas, Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Rhode Island, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Virginia have created laws to prohibit reproductive cloning. Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, North Dakota and South Dakota laws extend their prohibitions to therapeutic cloning, or cloning for research purposes. Virginia's law also may ban human cloning for any purpose, but it may be open to varying interpretations because the law does not define the term human being, which is used in the definition of human cloning. Rhode Island law does not prohibit cloning for research and California and New Jersey human cloning laws specifically permit cloning for the purpose of research. According to Wikipedia, cloning is legal in most EU countries and therapeutic cloning is allowed in the UK.
