ls and in human cell lines could help elucidate mechanisms for many of these processes” (210).
Somatic cell differentiation is another important concept shed light on by cloning and its processes. Nuclear transfer into human eggs is a process that helps researchers understand somatic cell differentiation. This kind of differentiation is extremely important in understanding many medical conditions. If scientists could discover the mechanisms whereby cells differentiate, they could possibly program them to develop cells required to lessen the impact of many illnesses or even cure them. For example, Parkinson’s Disease patients suffer from a lack of dopamine producing cells and such techniques might enable researchers to create and transplant cells that would produce it. Such processes involved in cloning will have an impact on many kinds of illnesses that plague humankind. As Ruse (et al.)
