The Nobelists, and this page as well, would ban reproductive cloning to produce human babies but would allow cloning of embryonic cell clusters for research and therapeutic purposes.
A20 Human Cloning Recommended A panel of experts has urged the British government to allow the cloning of human embryonic stem cells for scientific study of transplants.

Xiangzhong (Jerry) Yang, director of UConn's Center for Regenerative Biology, which is conducting studies on animal cloning, said the center was ready to apply its research to the cloning of human embryonic stem cells.
Therefore, we generated clones of mouse embryonic stem cells expressing a photoprotein as a Ca2+ reporter system under the control of a ubiquitous promoter.
Hwang Woo-suk (i.e. the pride of South Korea) was sentenced to two years in prison with suspended sentence after distorting the results published in two Science articles related to cloning of human embryonic stem cells.
Dr. Weissman, of Stanford, likens the discovery of cloned embryonic stem cells to that of recombinant DNA.
It's very hard to have a national debate on issues as socially and ethically important as cloning and the creation of embryonic stem cells when every conversation may ultimately bump up against corporate confidentiality.
In the two RMZ clones studied, the expression of embryonic myosin was correlated to the proportion of myotube-like structures: a BF-G6 positivity of 35% was found in the most differentiated one.
The in vivo-identification of embryonic clones, even upon early heatshock induction, was sometimes challenging, as usually the first-born daughter cells of early delaminating NBs (e.g. aCC and pCC deriving from NB1-1) were not labelled.
