ABSTRACT

This paper describes my research in Therapeutic Cloning. It uses literature to give detailed discussion of cloning. It also discusses applications of cloning such as curing diseases. Furthermore, the study gave a detailed discussion of the various advantages of Therapeutic cloning such as its ability to allow doctors do a cheap and readily available organ transfer. An example is Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease, leukemia, and even the production of whole complex tissues and organs from simple cells. It also provides disadvantages of this practice such as the painful process of egg extraction and being an expensive procedure. Furthermore, the paper gives a discussion of the ethical issues associated with Therapeutic cloning. An example of ethical issues associated with cloning includes producing identical human beings in the lab.
