- Therapeutic cloning holds great promise for the development of new treatments for a range of debilitating diseases, including Parkinson's and diabetes.
- Scientists have been working on refining the process of therapeutic cloning to create healthy stem cells for transplantation.
- The use of therapeutic cloning to produce personalized cells for transplantation has the potential to revolutionize the field of regenerative medicine.
- Therapeutic cloning is a highly complex and still largely experimental procedure, requiring further research before it can be considered a viable treatment option.
