Therapeutic Cloning |

Text

Therapeutic cloning is the process by which an embryo is created through nuclear transfer in order to obtain stem cells from it for therapeutic purposes.
Therapeutic cloning uses cloning technology to develop stem cells for research, and ultimately for therapy. The goal of therapeutic cloning is to produce human stem cells, and subsequent tissues and organs, which can be used to replace damaged tissue. |

Posted on: 05/25/2010 A fertilised egg has totipotency, or total potential for about four days. Days after fertilisation,the totipotent stem cell divides and then matures to cause more specialised stem cells called pluripotent stem cells.Basically, the pluripotent stem cell can do everything the totipotent one can except for creating an entire organism. so, how can we take totipotent cells frm a human? is tht practically possible? if we could, it wud be great, isn't it?

Posted on: 10/08/2007 ESC research only "does not involve cloning" if you redefine 'cloning.' Most people understand that it is making a 'copy' of someone's DNA. To use ESC's therapeutically, they must be 'recognized' by the cells of the end user - the simplest way is to 'clone' his/her DNA. And insert it into an available egg (and where are all these human eggs going to come from? 3rd-world women?) |
