From the Paper:

" There can be little question that human cloning has spawned much +international organizations and many countries immediately Suffice it to say, several nations passed cloning legislation that repudiated cloning and severely limited the scope of nuclear transfer. Despite the wide-spread outrage, however, a few caveats are in order when determining the scope and extent of the legislative action .sparked by the astonishing advances in human transfer technology. For one thing, several countries that were evidently concerned about human cloning at the end of the 1990s did not issue separate legislation of their own but instead followed the broad statements put forward by international organizations troubled by the new developments.
