Therapeutic cloning involves the use of stem cells to develop treatments for diseases or injuries, while reproductive cloning is focused on creating an identical copy of an organism. Therapeutic cloning is seen as a potential medical breakthrough, while reproductive cloning is often criticized for ethical and practical reasons.
Therapeutic cloning involves creating genetically identical cells or tissues for medical purposes, such as the development of new treatments or replacement of damaged body tissues. Reproductive cloning, on the other hand, aims to produce a living organism that is genetically identical to another existing or extinct organism. Both processes involve the use of cloning techniques, but therapeutic cloning focuses on medical applications while reproductive cloning focuses on creating whole organisms.
