Yes, since it does not rely upon the death of humans to save others. Plus, 'cloned' organs would be (almost) exact copies of the patient's original organ, hence there would be far fewer rejection issues and so less need for (semi-toxic) immunosuppresive drugs post-transplant.

Why are cloning plants important?

Well, recently cloning has been attempted only for copying specific organs, not necessarily whole human beings. This is important because the cloning of specific organs can completely obliterate the need to transplant organs and would guarantee 100% compatibility. This has been considered immoral on some counterparts because the stem cells needed to follow through with cloning require stem cells.


What is the point of cloning?

Cloning can be used for various purposes such as medical research, creating genetically identical animals for agriculture or conservation, and potentially even helping to produce organs for transplant. It allows scientists to study genetic diseases, improve agricultural efficiency, and explore ways to improve human health.

What ten reasons why cloning is good?

Cloning can help in studying and treating genetic diseases. It can aid in preserving endangered species by creating genetically identical individuals. Cloning can be used in agriculture to produce crops with desired traits. It offers a way to create genetically modified organisms for various purposes. Cloning can serve as a tool for regenerative medicine and tissue replacement. It provides insights into understanding development and cell behavior. Cloning can potentially produce organs for transplantation. It allows for the study of genetic diversity and its impact on traits. Cloning can contribute to advancements in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. It provides a method for replicating valuable research animals.


What are 5 positives about cloning?

Cloning is beneficial because it is going to prevent species from becoming instinct such as animals and plants. If we don't got animals how would we human survive.. Some people might say we don't have to eat meat i agree.... but what about plants.. Plants provide our energy.... and they can produce and transplant... That is one way cloning could be beneficial hope that helps ALSOOO.... :D if heart disease destroys someone heart an exact copy.. clone.... could grow and replace it....

How do you clone organs for human transplant?

Organ cloning for transplant involves taking a small amount of a patient's cells, growing them in a lab to create a new, genetically identical organ, and then transplanting that organ back into the patient's body. This technology is still in the early stages of development and has not yet been widely used for human transplants. It holds promise for addressing the shortage of donor organs and reducing the risk of rejection.
