Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -No. Researchers haven’t been able to successfully perform therapeutic cloning with humans despite success in a number of other species. However, in recent studies, researchers have created human pluripotent stem cells by modifying the therapeutic cloning process.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the future, therapeutic cloning will bring enhanced possibilities for organ transplantation, nerve cells and tissue healing, and other health benefits.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thought to be less likely to be rejected if used in transplants. Success has already been demonstrated in various clinical applications
