While the United States still has no federal law prohibiting cloning, other nations including Canada, France, Germany, Norway and Australia, have made human cloning for any purpose a serious crime (meriting five years of jail time in socially liberal Canada and seven in secular France). Additionally, the U.N. General Assembly recently passed the U.N. Declaration on Human Cloning, which (by a vote of nearly 3 to 1) calls on all nations to prohibit all forms of human cloning. The declaration voiced concern that biotechnology developments could exploit women. It has not taken long to be proved right.
Together with a handful of nations (including the United Kingdom, China and Singapore), South Korea supports human embryo cloning for research. South Koreans have lionized Hwang. There is talk of a Nobel Prize nomination. More than 1,000 Korean women have already signed up to give him their eggs -- on a Web site ("grotesque and bizarre" is the verdict from a Korean women's group). The Web site includes a telling comment from a man saying he "fought" with his wife because she refused to sign up. The site deems those who do sign on as "angels" in the "patriotic army"; an entire high school class of 33 girls has signed up. Conversely, there have been death threats against journalists critical of the effort.
