Compare and contrast between human cloning and therapeutic cloning.
Answers
Reproductive cloning involves creating an animal that is genetically identical to a donor animal through somatic cell nuclear transfer. In reproductive cloning, the newly created embryo is placed back into the uterine environment where it can implant and develop. Dolly the sheep is perhaps the most well known example.
Answer:
Human reproductive cloning involves the implantation of a cloned embryo into the uterus. The embryo then develops into a fetus that is then carried to term. This process would help infertile people to procreate genetically identical offsprings.
In therapeutic cloning, cloned embryos used for the purpose of extracting stem cells without implanting the embryos in a womb. Therapeutic cloning enables the cultivation of stem cells that are genetically identical to a patient. The cells are transplanted into the patient to replace diseased or damaged cells. These cells could be used to treat Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, diabetes mellitus, stroke, and spinal cord injury.
