From the invisible to the visible world and back...

In my career the technique of therapeutic cloning is an important advance in biochemistry, because this can means a before and after in organ transplants, this technique consists of an investigator extracting the nucleus from an ovum, the nucleus contains the genetic material of a  human or laboratory animal.

Scientists then take a somatic cell and extract the nucleus from this cell, in practical human applications, the somatic cell would be obtained from a patient requiring a stem cell transplant to treat a health condition or disease,

I learned about this technique in this course of introduction to the race where i heard a dissertation that dealt with this subject, its impact on human well-being is that it can end many terminal illnesses only with the use of a pair of pluripotential cells creating a new organ.

I close this issue because it generates much controversy in the social field since some are against and others in favor.



Their main advantage is that pluripotent cells could treat diseases of any organ or tissue of the body by replacing damaged cells. Another advantage of this type of therapy is that the risk of immune rejection is relieved because the patient receives their own genetic material. 



Its main disadvantage is that therapeutic cloning is that many attempts are required to create a viable ovule. The stability of the infusion of the egg to the somatic nucleus is poor and may require hundreds of attempts before success.
