I believe that cloning is a promise in terms of gaining new scientific abilities that will benefit us humans. Like discussed in the article, after more research is done, it will soon be possible for scientists to start harvesting the human blood clotting factor IX from Dolly's milk (Di Berardino, n.d.). Of course, the side effects and any possible outcomes are still unknown, but upon research that has already been completed, the outlooks are quite positive. Therapeutic cloning has proven to be an important tool as it has shown its abilities in tissue engineering. This can help in the treatment of many illnesses, some of which include infarctus, atherosclerosis and severe burns due to the ability to create patient-specific cardiomyocytes, blood vessels and skin pieces (Kfoury, 2007). In 2006, a protocol was created that produced pancreatic hormones such as insulin, by differentiating human embryonic stem cells into endocrine cells (Kfoury, 2007). These 2 studies show a lot of potential in how therapeutic cloning does indeed work and can help us to cure people like Jimmy, Margo and Christine, as we know that we will be able to reprogram cells in specific ways that will help them. In this case, someone like Jimmy will be able to receive the gene for blood clotting. Now with all the different technology and skills we have access to today, experimenting and finding results with cloning has been made very easy. Much research has already been done, and now all that is left is for scientists to start producing medicines that will be put to use.
