Applications and Examples of Cloning

Bio transplantation would be a very important application of cloning. For example, an animal with certain human genes could produce organs suitable for human use that would temporarily replace a deceased organ until a suitable human donor becomes available. Another application would be if you were testing different versions of a medicine on two cloned mice that were sick. You would know that the medicine in doing the job and not a genetic variation. We could even give an animal, a cow for instance, a gene that makes a very important, hard to get and expensive protein. Mass production would not hurt the animal because it would be excreted through the cow’s milk and make the protein cheaper and more accessible.
