Therapeutic cloning involves the creation of an embryo through somatic nuclear transfers  (taking DNA from one cell and putting it in another). With the goal of obtaining stem cells from that embryo.

The purpose of therapeutic cloning is to produce stem cells for use in treatment.

- No chance of rejection from the patient as the genetic material of that patient is being used.
- Helps further our knowledge of stem cells.
- No one is needed to donate.
- The patient is able to grow new tissues and parts of organs - regeneration.
- The treatment is effective and durable.

- A human embryo is being used and destroyed.
- Low success rate with patients.
- The process could be manipulated and misused by some.
- Higher chance of mutation in the cloned tissues.
- The process of extracting he embryo is expensive and painful.

Ethical issues have been raised because:
- Early embryos are being destroyed
- The procedure involves the artificial creation of an embryo in order to obtain stem cells.

My biology culminating class for science. I had to find a biological technology and make something to teach people about it. I chose therapeutic cloning because I find that it's the most interesting from all of the choices I was given. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. (: CREDITS!

Therapeutic cloning has the capacity to re-program adult nuclei. This is beneficial as mature stem cells are relatively stable through many rounds of replication.
They are intended to be used to treat patients with degenerative diseases.
