[Star Trek] what's the regulations on using replicators to replicate living organisms?

like klingon *gagh* for example, it's near worthless dead. and most klingons prefer it as fresh as possible. but it seems like replicating living organisms would be taboo. even if it's technically possible.

There aren't any regulations because it's not actually possible.  Never in the history of Trek have we seen someone successfully replicate something which was alive.

If replicating living things was possible, the Dominion wouldn't have to clone and grow soldiers.  Massive armies could be built up in almost no time.  Also replicating Worf's spine in the episode "Ethics"  (TNG 5e16) wouldn't have been such a big deal.

Now duplication of living organisms via transporter accident has happened a few times, but each time was a surprising miracle.

If Starfleet ever figures out the way to replicate actual living things, it will open up a whole host of questions.  Getting fresh *gagh* would be the least of one's issues compared to, say, the ethics of replicating a family pet... or a recently killed officer.
