How is therapeutic cloning differ from reproductive cloning? Therapeutic cloning creates a line of embryonic stem cells genetically identical to an individual. Reproductive cloning creates a new organism genetically identical to an individual. What does therapeutic cloning involve? Therapeutic cloning is sometimes referred to as "somatic cell nuclear transfer" or "SCNT". SCNT involves removing the nucleus of an egg cell, replacing it with the material from the nucleus of a "somatic cell" (such as a skin cell) and stimulating this cell to begin dividing. What involves reproductive cloning? Reproductive cloning involves the creation of individuals that contain identical sets of...
