Legal Terms - Cloning
Cloning is the process of creating an asexual human entity that bears genetic resemblance to an extant or former human being. This is achieved by inserting donor cell nuclear material into the nucleus of an egg. Reproductive cloning is the term for the procedure that occurs when the resultant embryo is placed into a womb with the intention of bearing a child. It is currently prohibited by the Human Fertilization and
Act on Embryology, 2008. Therapeutic cloning is the term used to describe the creation of cloned embryos for medical research purposes or to generate cells that will be transplanted into an individual afflicted with a disease or disability. If authorized by the *Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, such a procedure might be legal.
