What's the difference between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning?

  • What's the difference between reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning?

  • Answer:

    Reproductive cloning is a process for creating an exact whole copy of an already existing mature life form. In the case of human cloning, no humans have been cloned, as far as we know; as such, we don't know what the nature of a true human clone would be. Therapeutic cloning involves the creation of a whole copy of an already existing mature life form but not allow the cloned embryo to come to full term resulting in birth. The objective of this kind of cloning is to produce the "seed" material, cells, for growing replacement organs or for tissue engineering designed to heal or cure disease in human beings.

For me, reproductive cloning is the reproducing of a new organism...example..a human.. a sheep and if we say therapeutic cloning it is reproducing of a new organ to replace one for example.... skin, eyes and all organs...that's all
