Therapeutic Cloning

Therapeutic cloning is a scientific process used to create cells or tissues for medical treatment. It involves taking a cell from a patient and using its DNA to create an embryo in the lab. Instead of producing a whole organism, the goal is to extract stem cells from the embryo. These stem cells can then be developed into different types of cells that may help repair damaged tissues or organs. This approach holds promise for treating diseases like Parkinson's and diabetes, as it could potentially provide personalized cells that the patient's body would accept without rejection.
