What is Therapeutic Cloning?
Therapeutic cloning is a used as
a form of rehabilitation for limbs or other body parts affected by disease. It is unlike reproductive cloning which forms
around the goal of cloning a whole new individual.
How does Therapeutic Cloning work?
Therapeutic cloning works when a patient’s cell,
typically a skin cell’s nucleus is put in a fertilized egg whose nucleus has
been removed. A blastocyst forms as the
egg begins to divide. Stem cells are
then removed from the blastocyst and encouraged to grow cells which will
eventually form a tissue.
