In addition, Missouri enacted a ban on the use of state funds for research with respect to cloning a The California legisla- tion prohibits "clon[ing] a human being" and makes a violation punishable by a civil fine. It defines "clone" as "creating or attempting to create a human being by transferring the nucleus from a human cell from whatever source" into an enucleated human egg "to initiate a pregnancy that could result in the birth of a human ; It is thus a ban on cloning for human reproductive pur- poses. The legislature attempted to limit the unforeseen effects of this prohibition on therapeutic research using SNT with a statement of intent, which declares that the moratorium is not intended to apply "to the cloning of human cells, human tissue, or human organs that would not result in the replication of an entire human ; Louisiana's cloning statute closely tracks the language in the California statute, except that Louisiana additionally prohibits the use of state funds or of any health facility to clone or attempt to clone a human being. Michigan's statute defines cloning as any use of SNT technology to produce a human embryo, and prohibits intentional human cloning and attempted human cloning. Unlike the other cloning stat- utes, it is part of the state penal code: a person who violates the statute is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment and/or a fine. The nuclear transfer need not result in a pregnancy to violate the law; all that is necessary is that the resulting egg cell is "capable of differen- tiating and maturing into a complete human ; Accordingly, the ban covers therapeutic applications as well as reproductive use, although it excludes from coverage "scientific research or. cell-based therapies not specifically prohibited&
