Cloning is actually very different from that point of view. There are three types of human cloning, all three with very different procedures and goals: embryo cloning, adult DNA cloning, and therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning involves growing replacement organs such as a heart, liver, pancreas, or skin from a sample of a person’s DNA. The procedure that would have to be done to accomplish this would involve the use of a human embryo that has been modified by cell nuclear replacement, and the extraction of the embryo’s stem cells. Therapeutic cloning has not yet been accomplished in a laboratory or clinic. However, a general approach in the future has been put together. It would involve a multiple step process: A DNA sample would be taken from a sick patient; the sample would be inserted into an embryo in place of the original DNA; the embryo would be allowed to grow for around two weeks; the stem cells would be removed from the embryo (this is the destructive and controversial step,
