Cloning is asexual reproduction. There are all kinds of research that can be done on stem cells without creating any actual embryo or causing the gestation of an embryo in order to give birth to a new organism.

Is stem cell research still advancing or has it been stopped?

Stem cell research is still advancing with the help of the publics donations and time. They are doing some great work, but the funding is the hardest part.


What is cloning to produce embryonic stem cells called?

Cloning to produce embryonic stem cells is called therapeutic cloning. This process involves creating a clone of a donor’s cells to generate embryonic stem cells that can be used for medical research and potential treatments.


Do scientists need embryos to further the stem cell research?

Cloning is asexual reproduction. There are all kinds of research that can be done on stem cells without creating any actual embryo or causing the gestation of an embryo in order to give birth to a new organism.


Involves fusing a cell without a nucleus from an adult organism with a cell from another adult organism?

The process you are describing is called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). It involves transferring the nucleus from a somatic cell (cell without a nucleus) of one organism into an enucleated oocyte (egg cell) from another organism. This technique is often used in cloning and stem cell research.


What is one concern that people have with stem cell research?

The first concern is the destruction of human embryos to extract stem cells. Pro-life activists argue that embryos are a form of life and should be allowed to live. Another argument is that stem cell research can devalue human life as it can lead to consent of reproductive cloning.

Is stem cell research the same thing as cloning?

stem cell cloning and stem cell research are the same, they both do replication(clone) BUT the only difference lies in the purpose for which the clone would be created. Stem Cell Cloning-the clone is transferred to the body of a woman and allowed to go to term(reproduction) while Stem Cell Research is use for transplantation(therapeutic) Therapeutic' cloning is not therapeutic for the clone, who will die in the course of its cells being taken when it is 5-7 days old. Such cloning is, moreover, reproductive, since it involves the creation of an embryo, although this embryo will not survive to the point of being born.Therapeutic helps the patients to recover if she/he have a bone marrow by means of transplantation.


How does embryo cell cloning definition?

Embryo cell cloning, also known as therapeutic cloning, is a process where a cloned embryo is created for the purpose of harvesting stem cells. These stem cells can be used for medical research or potentially for treating diseases. This technique is different from reproductive cloning, which involves creating a clone of an organism.

What is the difference between stem cell and cloning?

A stem cell is an undeveloped cell that can theoretically be stimulated to produce any tissue of that species, with the DNA of the stem cell. Cloning is taking the nucleus from one cell and implanting it into another cell with its nucleus removed, replacing the DNA in the target cell with that of the cell the nucleus was taken from.


What is stem cell research about?

Stem cell research is about the cloning of animals and human. a cell that can be made into another cell.. eg: someone with alepisha can get stem cells injected and get the cells needed to grow back hair, etc.. someone with autism can go to some country in Asia and get them injected to help the cells in the brain.


What are the methods of cloning?

Stem Cell research to replace some things of the human body can also be used to make new things
