A law against Federal money being spent on human cloning research, yeah.
I don't know about an outright ban. Same with fetal cell research: it's
not banned, you just can't use Fed. money. As much research depends on
Fed. money, it often seems like a ban. Even more so if strings are tied
to any organization receiving Fed. money -- again, most universities.
Wholly private labs may be free (but hold the LSD.)

Hmm. Is uranium illegal to possess, or is it tightly controlled?
