Introduction Today I’m going to talk about Therapeutic cloning. What is Therapeutic Cloning? Therapeutic Cloning is a technique in medical science that you can help people to get rid of some disease that they have. Scientist has already succeeded in the experiment on healing brain disease and Parkinson disease on mice. And they are working on heart disease. But they haven’t started testing on humans yet. Therapeutic cloning, which involves human cloning, is a difficult and ethically disputed procedure. There have been scandals and rumours of the first human clone in the past, however without proof. There are no news on major breakthroughs in therapeutic cloning in the recent past. How does cloning work? Take a healthy skin cell from the person who has an issue with health, it could be heart or liver issue. Take the Nucleus out from the cell. They have to take it out because in the nucleus is the genome. Then, take the nucleus out from a donor egg cell from another person, and take out the nucleus so …show more content…
