Recombinant & Therapeutic Cloning

Recombinant cloning involves removing DNA molecules from one organisms cell and merging it in vitro with a different organisms DNA to form functional and vital DNA molecules. The altered DNA is transmitted into the subject and directs the cell to generate certain important proteins that the organism can not otherwise create. In most cases, DNA from a benefactor organism can not be transported straight to the receiving or host organism as there are differences among …

…nothing that therapeutic cloning can not cure. It can help infertile women have babies using a process called in vitro fertilization, and even has the possibilities to prolong life.
