You are not even allowed to take the organs of a recently dead body if the person did not agree to that before death. Why would you be allowed to do it to a live person?!

I mean, there are countries that don't care about human rights and possess the necessary technology. However, growing whole human for just an organ or two is a huge waste of resources.

  The book The House of the Scorpion has, as part of its premise, some ultra-rich drug lords who raise clones for organ replacements. (Seems like the right combination of rich and unscrupulous.) Most of those clones are injected with something to disable their brains at birth, with at least one exception.

"Why would you be allowed to do it to a live person?" Because you are the government making the rules, or you have a few billion dollars and can easily hide it. I'm not sure anyone's doing it, but if it is truly the case that nobody has cloned a human, it isn't because of "the rules". "The rules" don't apply to everywhere or to everybody.

Man you don't get out much. There are really bad people out there, and really bad places: it's big business in certain parts of the world.
