only could waiting be deadly for the patient, the body might also reject the organ being transplanted. If one were to clone their own organ the body would recognize the cell as its own and rejection would not occur, eliminating the need for anti-rejection drugs (Nash 1). Less complicated tissues, such as skin cells, have already been cloned in laboratories for use in skin grafts for burn victims. This type of cloning would not only save time, but it would also prevent scaring on other parts of the victims body due to the skin graft. Overall, I think cloning is extremely useful in the fact that it can facilitate the organ donation process and save many precious lives as well. Another benefit of cloning that is remarkable is diagnosing and curing genetic diseases. This is a medical advance that researchers are still trying to develop. Some aspects of it have been implemented and prove to be extremely successful. Others ideas are in the making, and if researched correctly they may be the future in curing genetic problems which have taken the lives of many people in years before. Marie A. Di Berardino explains the medical advances that can come about from cloning technology in the future:X Christine is scheduled to have her own genetically reprogrammed skin cells transplanted to replace her severely damaged heart cells. X Margo, who has Parkinsons disease, receives special nerve cells. She is not concerned about the tissue incompatibility and rejection, because these cells are her own genetically reprogrammed skin cells. X Patients routinely buy anti-cancer or anti-viral drugs in large quantities to treat their conditions (2)The above are examples of what further research in cloning may do to help the treatment of genetic diseases. Hopefully they will be implemented and thousands of people with diseases can go on leading relatively normal lives. You or someone in your family could be diagnosed with a disease such as cancer.
