What is another word for therapeutic cloning?
Pronunciation: [θˌɛɹəpjˈuːtɪk klˈə͡ʊnɪŋ] (IPA) 
Therapeutic cloning is a process that involves replicating cells in order to create genetically identical copies for therapeutic purposes. There are several synonyms for this term, including somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), regenerative cloning, and embryo cloning. SCNT is similar to therapeutic cloning but involves creating a new organism rather than just replicating cells. Regenerative cloning is also similar but focuses on regeneration of damaged tissues rather than creating new cells. Embryo cloning refers to the creation of genetically identical embryos for research or therapeutic purposes. Regardless of the synonym used, the goal of therapeutic cloning is to develop new treatments for diseases using the patient's own cells.
