State Laws on Human Cloning

Description

There are currently nine states that have some form of a ban on human cloning. Those include: Arkansas, California, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Virginia. Four of these states (Arkansas, Iowa, Michigan and Virginia) have a complete ban on human cloning, while the rest of these states ban cloning for the purpose of initiating pregnancy. Three of those states that have a partial ban, as well as some others without cloning bans, have laws that ban research that harms or destroys human embryos.
