THE CRUCIAL DIFFERENCES

Nuclear transplantation Human reproductive cloning

End product Cells growing in a petri dish Human being

Purpose To treat a specific disease of tissue degeneration Replace or duplicate a human

Time frame A few weeks (growth in culture) 9 months

Surrogate mother needed No Yes

Sentient human created No Yes

Ethical implications Similar to all embryonic cell research Highly complex issues

Medical implications Similar to any cell-based therapy Safety and long-term efficacy concerns
