Therapeutic Cloning: Simple Illustration



Therapeutic cloning is otherwise called as Cell Nuclear Replacement or CNR. The name comes from the process which involves "taking the genetic material from the cell of a donor and inserting it into a totipotent stem cell, for example an egg". CNR is entirely different from human reproductive cloning. Research in the laboratory using very early stage embroys consisting of a few hundred cells and no nervous system is quite different from culturing embryos past the 14 day period, implementing them in the womb, and attempting to take the pregnancy to the full term..... for more about Therapuetic Cloning, click here
