Elizabeth Moon: Cloning is illegal in the Familias Regnant, but
commonplace in the Guerni Republic, where they have full citizenship.
Lois Bujold: Clones are generally either the siblings or the children of
their progenitors, depending on which planet you're on. On Jacksons
Hole, which is human-rights-free zone, they are the slaves of whoever
paid for them. On Athos, they are illegal, the process being considered
the sin of vanity!
