Scientists are researching the use of therapeutic cloning to generate patient-specific tissues to bypass registry shortages.
State what is meant by the term therapeutic cloning.
Suggest two biological or clinical advantages of using tissues derived via therapeutic cloning over matching tissues from an unrelated living or deceased donor.
