Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you had twin or even if you had a clone? If you had an illness like diabetes, have you ever wondered what it would be like if you did not? Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. The first successful clone was in 1997 when scientist Edinburgh cloned Dolly the sheep. She was the first animal to be cloned with an adult somatic cell by using the process of nuclear transfer. She was born on July 5 1996, lived to the age of six and died after being diagnosed with lung disease called Jaagsiekte. (First Cloned Sheep Dolly Dies at 6 page 1).
This is a common disease in sheep caused by retrovirus (First Cloned Sheep Dolly Dies at 6 page 1). There were many

(Kilner, John Human cloning page 1). The tissue or organ would be transplanted into the patient, and then the stem cells would grow into tissue or organ that is needed for the patient. (Robinson B.A. Therapeutic cloning how it is done possible benefits). Embryonic cells can be grown to produce organs or tissues to repair or replace damaged ones. (Human cloning page 1).
Therapeutic cloning can also be called embryo cloning. (Human Genome Project Information page 3). In therapeutic cloning, the resultant embryo would grow for about fourteen days and the stem cells would be extracted into a human tissue or a complete human. Then the embryo would be implanted in a woman’s womb and developed in to a new human whose DNA is the same to the original individual. (Robinson, B.A Therapeutic cloning how it is done Possible Benefits page 1). The goal of therapeutic cloning is not to so much create cloned human beings but to harvest stem cells that can be used to generate any type of specialized cell in the human body. Problems can also come from programming errors in the genetic material from a donor cell. (Human Genome Project Information page 3). The difference between therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning is that therapeutic cloning involves cloning cells from an adult for use in medicine and is an active area of research. Reproductive cloning involves making cloned humans and this is illegal in many countries. Some American states ban both
Therapeutic cloning, what is it? Some might think it involves the cloning of a human being. In actuality, it refers to the removal of a nucleus, which contains the genetic material, from virtually any cell of the body and its transfer by injection into an egg (acquired from female) that is not fertilized and from which the nucleus has been removed. Therapeutic cloning can also be referred to somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). To perform SCNT researchers extract the nucleus from the egg, the nucleus stores all the genetic information for any living subject. Then researches take a somatic cell, which is any type of cell that is not a gamete, and extract its nucleus from the cell.
It seems to be as if cloning is the new topic society can not stop talking about. Some people do not know what it is or they confuse the difference between the different type of cloning. There are two types of cloning therapeutic and reproductive cloning and there is a big difference between the both. Reproductive cloning is cloning a whole new organism while therapeutic cloning focuses on cloning an organ such as a heart, a kidney, a liver, and so on. Cloning of a body part is extremely helpful and essential to the survival of the human race. Cloning body parts also known as therapeutic cloning is the key to live a longer happy life because this procedure creates vital organs that can help people from suffering, it prevents other diseases, and it is much safer than reproductive cloning.
Therapeutic cloning, unlike reproductive, is a lot more productive than harmful. The stem cells created from therapeutic cloning will have the potential to turn into many different types of body cells. Stem cells can replace worn out or damaged tissues and is an alternative to organ donation. It is less likely to result in rejection by the recipient because the tissue would be made from the recipients own genetic material. Like stated previously, therapeutic cloning does not involve the creation of a live human being.
Therapeutic cloning is also known as embryo cloning. Catholic Church has raised the question of religion, they said even an embryo must be treated as a living being, and should not be used in the research. Creating artificial living being is not good in favor of nature. They are totally against therapeutic cloning. Everyone has a specific character that is its uniqueness that can be present in the external or internal organ micro.
Cloning has been a hot topic for many in the medical field and regular people. One of the new ideas for cloning is organ. Organ cloning is a process many doctors and scientists are interested in. Organ cloning is a process that can many benefits for humans. The possibility of using that organ cloning can become enormous. The one thing it could make it is easier for people whose need transplants to get one. It could also make the chance that the body will reject the organ to zero. While the idea of organ cloning is a great and interest idea there still some ways to go before we can actually do it. The one chance for the success of organ cloning is therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning is a process in which DNA is extracted from the people
Reproductive cloning is a technology used to generate an animal that has the same nuclear DNA as another currently or previously existing animal. And Therapeutic cloning, also called "embryo cloning," is the production of human embryos for use in research and gene therapy.
Concrete detail. “The embryonic stem cell is related to human cloning because an individual’s cells are duplicated to keep off illnesses and personal diseases, or the effects that occur from serious injury. This is the therapeutic form of cloning and begins using the same procedure as reproductive cloning. The goals of therapeutic cloning are to produce embryonic stem cells whereas the goal of reproductive cloning is to produce a baby”.( Embryonic Stem Cell Research Pros and Cons List
Introduction: Cloning hit the mainstream as a scientific debate when scientists cloned a lamb named Dolly in 1996. Cloning is a process that results in an identical genetic copy of a biological product such as cells, tissues, genes or entire entities. After
Therapeutic cloning will help replace damaged organs. For example, therapeutic cloning aims for cloning new organs, to have have give healthy new skin for fire victims or strong new bones for osteoporosis patients. It will create viable medical treatments.
Therapeutic cloning is helpful in creating vital organs. This would be helpful for people suffering from kidney and other disorders, who are forced to wait years for a replacement organ.
There are two main types of cloning that are known about, therapeutic cloning and reproductive cloning. Therapeutic cloning is when you take a small sample of DNA and insert into an embryo to make the embryo to have healthy parts. The parts are accepted by our body because they are from your DNA. Therapeutic cloning does not happen naturally in nature and it is asexual. Reproductive cloning is another type of cloning and unlike therapeutic cloning is sometimes occurs in nature. An example of natural reproductive cloning is meiosis and plants. This is asexual as well since it is an exact replica of DNA from one sample. Cloning may have many benefits but it has downsides. Cloning is a crude science that should not be researched upon because of its
Cloning, can be beneficial to human society. Theres many types of cloning but, the one that benefits society today is known as therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning, is the removal of a nucleus, which contains the genetic material, from virtually any cell of the body usually from the skin and its transferred by injection it into an unfertilized egg from which the nucleus has also been removed. Creating an identical DNA. By, having a cloned DNA it can help understand genetic diseases. The cells created it can later be used transplanted into the patients to treat a diseases from which the patient suffers.
The science behind human therapeutic cloning as already experienced widespread use. It has been used in areas such as agriculture, the production of medical products and organs, research on human diseases, regeneration
Stem cells research is often confused with cloning because both areas involve the use of embryonic cells. Both fields have got even more confused when the term therapeutic cloning was introduced as a means to produce embryonic stem cells. While stem cell research involves the use of several different types of cells besides embryonic stem cells, such as adult stem cells from humans or animals or stem cells from fetuses or amniotic fluid. Reproductive cloning is the process by which an embryo is created by nuclear transfer and implanted into a surrogate mother for bringing it to term. After the birth the clone would be the genetic copy of the adult whose nucleus is used of cloning. The therapeutic cloning uses cloning technology to develop stem cells for research and ultimately for therapy. Whereas, stem cells are the foundation cells for every organ, tissue and cell in the body.
Science today is developing at warp speed. We have the capability to do many things, which include the cloning of actual humans! First you may ask what a clone is? A clone is a group of cells or organisms, which are genetically identical, and have all been produced from the same original cell. There are three main types of cloning, two of which aim to produce live cloned offspring and one, which simply aims to produce stem cells and then human organs. These three are: reproductive cloning, embryo cloning and therapeutic cloning. The goal of therapeutic cloning is to produce a healthy copy of a sick person's tissue or organ for transplant, and the goal of both reproductive cloning and embryo cloning is to
