- Do you feel CRISPR or other technologies are appropriate for use in human embryo’s? Why or why not? In what situations might this be acceptable to you?arrow_forwardTherapeutic cloning is a process of producing embryonic stem cells that could possibly be used to grow healthy tissues and organs. The process involves the removal of the nucleus from a mature somatic cell and injecting this nucleus into an unfertilized egg. The egg then begins to divide and, after four to five days, embryonic stem cells begin to form. These embryonic stem cells are unique in that they can develop into different types of tissues, and scientists believe they can direct the cells to develop into specific tissue types that they choose. What are some possible applications of therapeutic cloning? Explain your answer. BIUarrow_forwardAshanti Silva received the first gene therapy for the treatment of SCID.
