Therapeutic Cloning

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.
