Therapeutic Cloning
It is really important to understand what happens in therapeutic cloning. This will help in explaining different responses to the procedure. On the one hand, therapeutic cloning could save millions of lives, and help people with a wide range of different conditions. On the other, the process itself uses embryos in ways that many people find unacceptable.
This is made more complicated by the differing claims made about what therapeutic cloning will, or won't, be able to do. Other people claim that there are alternatives that are just as promising.
What is therapeutic cloning? What can it actually achieve? What are the main arguments against it?
