"Embryos created through a process called 'therapeutic cloning' might eventually yield stem cells to grow tissues and organs genetically identical to those of a patient, making possible a rejection-free therapy for spinal cord injuries, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, or heart disease. Unlike reproductive cloning, which creates a new human being, therapeutic cloning is used only to replace certain human tissues." (FOREIGN POLICY) This article describes therapeutic cloning and explains that "competition for top researchers and private capital is pushing the pace--and punishing those who stumble."
