disease (Robel n/a). Medical scientists would be able to not only reproduce the genes, but would be able to transfer them and to study them (Kolate 236). It would be possible to study organs of the human body to learn how they could alter them to cause them to regenerate after injury. Another possible medical use for cloning is the development of pigs that have been modified with human genes so their organs can be transplanted into humans (Charles F01). Other research applications of cloning would involve genetically modifying adult cells to be cloned to create animal models of human diseases to study the effects of drugs (Charles F01). The ways of reproducing genes and copying DNA could help in finding cures for certain diseases and disorders. Scientists could take DNA from healthy cells and copy it, then inject it into an unhealthy cell to cancel out the bad genes (Charles F01).Cloning would also help parents that are facing the possible loss of a child due to illness. More palatable than the ego cloneis the medical clone, a baby created to provide transplant material for the original (Kluger 66). The idea of a medical clone, or a baby created to provide transplant material for the original child has surfaced (Kluger 70). While the idea of harvesting a one-of-a-kind organ, such as a heart from a new child resulting in creating a clone just to kill it for the organ is not advocated (Kluger 70), most parents are not against raising a clone, or identical child so some of its bone marrow can be used to save the life of the first child (Kluger 69). The idea that future clones could produce such medically important substances as Insulin, interferon, and growth hormone is exciting to scientist (Robel n/a). To begin with, the most stunning, but least disputed possibility, is to consider the idea of using human cloning to grow your own organs for transplant(Kolate 234).
