There have been consistent calls in Canada to ban human reproductive cloning since the 1993 Report of the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies. Polls have indicated that an overwhelming majority of Canadians oppose human reproductive cloning, though the regulation of human cloning continues to be a significant national and international policy issue.  The notion of "human dignity" is commonly used to justify cloning laws. The basis for this justification is that reproductive human cloning necessarily infringes notions of human dignity.<ref>{{cite web| title= Overview of World Human Cloning Policies| work= Connexions| access-date= 15 September 2016| url= http://cnx.org/content/m14834/latest/| first= Kristin| last= Matthews| publisher= [[Rice University]]| archive-date= 17 December 2013| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131217231719/http://cnx.org/content/m14834/latest/| url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal| title= Canada Bans Human Cloning| journal= The Hastings Center Report| access-date= 7 December 2011| first= Francoise| last= Baylis | year= 2004| volume= 34| issue= 3| page= 5| pmid= 15281719| url= https://www.questia.com/googleScholar.qst?do}}{{dead link|date=July 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first= Kristen |last= Philipkoski |date= 17 March 2004 |title= Canada Closes Door on Cloning |url= http://wired.com/ |access-date= 15 September 2016 |archive-date= 14 June 2022 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20220614233844/https://www.wired.com/ |url-status= live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| title= Regulating and treating conception problems| publisher= Canadian Broadcasting Corporation| date= 21 December 2010| access-date= 7 December 2011| url= https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/regulating-and-treating-conception-problems-1.799668| archive-date= 27 February 2012| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120227183627/http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/story/2009/02/05/f-reprotech.html| url-status= live}}</ref>

On 29 March 2010, The Federal Assembly introduced second revision of this law without time limit.<ref name="RU">{{Cite web|title=ГАРАНТ|url=http://ivo.garant.ru/|access-date=29 March 2023|website=ivo.garant.ru|archive-date=9 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220209183918/http://ivo.garant.ru/|url-status=live}}</ref>

However, on 15 November 2001, a [[Pro-life movement|pro-life]] group won a [[High Court of Justice|High Court]] legal challenge, which struck down the regulation and effectively left all forms of cloning unregulated in the UK.

| On 13 December 2001, the [[United Nations General Assembly]] began elaborating an international convention against the reproductive cloning of humans. A broad coalition of states, including Spain, Italy, the [[Philippines]], the United States, [[Costa Rica]], and the [[Holy See]] sought to extend the debate to ban all forms of human cloning, noting that, in their view, therapeutic human cloning violates human dignity. Costa Rica proposed the adoption of an international convention to ban all forms of human cloning. Unable to reach a consensus on a binding convention, in March 2005 a non-binding [[United Nations Declaration on Human Cloning]], calling for the ban of all forms of human cloning contrary to human dignity, was adopted.<ref>[http://www.bioeticaweb.com/content/view/1267/765/lang,es/ "United Nations Declaration on Human Cloning"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131215040939/http://www.bioeticaweb.com/content/view/1267/765/lang,es/ |date=15 December 2013 }}.

In 1998, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2009, the United States Congress voted whether to ban all human cloning, both reproductive and therapeutic ([[Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act]]).<ref>"President Clinton in 1993 lifts the ban on taxpayer-funded fetal tissue research.

Bush]] in 2005 and 2007), over therapeutic cloning prevented either competing proposal (a ban on both forms or on reproductive cloning only) from being passed into law. On 10 March 2010, a bill (HR 4808) was introduced with a section banning federal funding for human cloning.<ref>{{cite web|title=H.R.4808 – Stem Cell Research Advancement Act of 2009|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/4808|website=congress.gov|date=10 March 2010|access-date=21 February 2017|archive-date=22 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170222112103/https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/4808|url-status=live}}</ref> Such a law, if passed, would not have prevented research from occurring in private institutions (such as universities) that have both private and federal funding.
