SB 191 - This act prohibits human cloning. A new Section 565.305 is created and defines "cloning" as the production of a precise genetic copy of a molecule or chromosomes. "Human cloning" is also defined as the creation of or attempt to create a human being by transferring the nucleus from a human cell from whatever source into an oocyte from which the nucleus has been removed.

Any individual knowingly engaging or participating in human cloning or using public funds and public facilities for purposes of human cloning will be guilty of a Class B felony.
