Now in vitro fertilization is an accepted treatment for couples who experience difficulty conceiving a child. Pope John Paul II has objected strongly to the cloning of human embryos. The British government said last year it supported cloning of human embryos up to 14 days old for purposes of retrieving potentially therapeutic cells. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said no human cloning may take place in the United States without its permission. In Italy there is no law prohibiting human cloning.
Many countries lack legislation or even guidelines for dealing with the issue.
