This is a blog about cloning, or asexual reproduction. I was inspired by the groundbreaking http://www.clonaid.com web site, so their services are discussed here, amongst many other things to do with cloning.

Is cloning legal in Taiwan?
According to Geography.about.com, Taiwan is not part of the United Nations, and therefore may not have to recognize the United Nations 2005 recommendation, "to adopt all measures necessary to prohibit all forms of human cloning". Taiwan is considered by many to be under the control of China, and therefore is not really a country in its own right.
However, Geography.about.com concludes that, "despite the controversy surrounding the island of Taiwan, its status should be considered as a de facto independent country of the world."
Interestingly, the USA voted for the declaration, that is they voted against cloning, but only 15 of the 50 states have outlawed the practice back home.
The United Kingdom, China and Thailand voted against the declaration.
In conclusion, Taiwan then, may be a suitable place to clone humans.
