Benefits to therapeutic cloning

 With therapeutic cloning, patients do not have to worry about any sort of rejection to the treatment because the cells being used are their own.  Wait lists are very long for organ transplants and being able to generate a new organ using your own cells would mean that the organ you were waiting for, could go to someone else.  Another major benefit to therapeutic cloning are be the opportunities that come about for those who otherwise would have had limited options and mobility due to the loss of limb or possibly even nerve.    

Drawbacks to therapeutic cloning

It is often difficult to find a viable egg meaning it often takes several tries therefore more resources are used and more time is lost during this process.  One major controversy surrounding therapeutic cloning is the knowledge that embryos are being used, organisms that have the potential of being entire human beings are instead being used for tissue regeneration.  Therapeutic cloning is also very expensive, a price many cannot afford to pay.  Should therapeutic cloning be provided if not everyone can afford it?
