Problems With Tic Cloningherapeut

It is true that there are tremendous benefits of therapeutic cloning. This however, does not in any way dilute the various hurdles the process has to face before rendering successful. Few therapeutic cloning problems and obstacles are discussed below:

• Research on therapeutic cloning over years has been promising, but adult cells by nature do not have a wide scope of application. Stem cells from embryos have proven to have greater flexibility than adult cells.
• Through the somatic cell nuclear transfer, a new person comes to existence. When stem cells are removed from the embryo, it is killed and many people consider this as murder. Pro-life supporters are therefore in protest of therapeutic cloning.
• There are still a few defects in the process, as a few tests have shown people and animals to develop diseases or tumors post therapeutic cloning. These shortcomings need to be eliminated before approval.
• The major concern regarding therapeutic cloning is, where to get eggs from? To start this process at a wide level, millions of eggs would be needed. Removing eggs from women is painful for them and not practically feasible as well. Thus, efficient ways to produce stem cells need to be discovered before taking therapeutic cloning to the next level.
