WHY

CLONE?

Cloning for medical purposes has

the potential to benefit large
numbers of people. (University of

HOW MIGHT CLONING BE USED IN
MEDICINE?
 Researchers learn about human
CLONING ANIMAL disease comes from studying animal
MODELS models such as mice.

OF
DISEASE
 Cloning could help reduce
the time needed to make a
transgenic animal model.

Animal models are genetically

engineered to carry disease-
causing mutations in their
genes.

CLONING TO
MAKE STEM
CELLS
 They are looking at cloning as a
way to create stem cells that are
genetically identical to an
individual.
ADVANTAGES
Stem cells build, maintain, and repair the body throughout our lives.
Because these are processes that stem cells do naturally, they can be
manipulated to repair worn out organs and tissues.
 These cells could then beused for medical purposes,
possibly even for growing whole organs.
Stem cells cloned from someone with a disease could
be grown and studied to help researchers understand
the disease and develop treatments.
ADVANTAGES
OF
CLONING
 There are many animal and
vegetal species in Breeding of species

In the case of human cloning,

DISADVANTAGES
OF
CLONING
 Every reply is never Genetic manipulation
equal to the true and
original.
supplanting the nature of
things.
