I'm wondering if cloning is still considered illegal or if there have been any changes in the legality of this practice. Specifically, I'm referring to cloning in the context of creating genetically identical copies of organisms.

As of 2024, there are no comprehensive federal laws in place that prohibit cloning entirely. This indicates a continuing debate and lack of consensus on the issue at the national level.

These votes have covered both reproductive cloning, which aims to create a new human life, and therapeutic cloning, which focuses on using cloned cells for medical research and treatments, specifically mentioned in the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act.

Despite these efforts, no definitive legislation has been passed to outlaw cloning in its entirety, leaving the matter open to interpretation and regulation at state levels or through other means.
