Europe has ethical concerns regarding stem cell research. Europe allows experiments to be carried out to further information about stem cell research, Europe follows 3 guidelines 1) personal protection rights (protection of human life), (2) political rights (e.g., no inappropriate state intervention), and (3) social and economic rights.

In therapeutic cloning, the nucleus of a cell, typically a skin cell, is inserted into a fertiliseed egg whose nucleus has been removed. ... The cells created via therapeutic cloning can then be transplanted into the patient to treat a disease from which the patient suffers.

Therapeutic cloning: Cloning designed as therapy for a disease. In therapeutic cloning, the nucleus of a cell, typically a skin cell, is inserted into a fertilized egg whose nucleus has been removed. The nucleated egg begins to divide repeatedly to form a blastocyst. Scientists then extract stem cells from the blastocyst and use them to grow cells that are a perfect genetic match for the patient. The cells created via therapeutic cloning can then be transplanted into the patient to treat a disease from which the patient suffers. In contrast to the goal of therapeutic cloning, the goal of reproductive cloning is to create a new individual, an idea that has stirred great controversy and met with almost uniform disapproval.

A stem cell line is a group of stem cells that is cultured in vitro and can be propagated indefinitely. Stem cell lines are derived from either animal or human tissues and come from one of three sources: embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, or induced stem cells.
