Crimes and offenses; human cloning prohibited, criminal penalties provided

HB 111 prohibits human cloning by making it a Class C felony, criminalizing actions like creating a genetically identical human embryo or trafficking related materials. It directly affects individuals or entities performing human cloning procedures, such as using genetic material from somatic cells to create a human embryo. The bill explicitly excludes in vitro fertilization, fertility treatments, and scientific research (e.g., cloning for medical or agricultural purposes involving non-human cells, tissues, or organisms) from the prohibition. This law aims to ban reproductive human cloning while preserving existing medical and scientific practices.
