Reproductive cloning results in implanting the stem cells into the uterus while therapeutic cloning results in growing the stem cells in lab dishes.
- Somatic cell nuclear transfer is used in reproductive cloning to produce an animal that is genetically identical to a donor animal.
- In therapeutic cloning, an embryo is produced in a similar manner, but the "cloned" cells that are produced do not enter a female's uterus. Instead, they are left in a dish in the laboratory.
- By using somatic cell nuclear transfer, reproductive cloning produces an animal that is genetically identical to a donor animal.
- The freshly produced embryo is returned to the uterine environment during reproductive cloning so it can implant and develop. Perhaps the most famous example is Dolly the sheep.
- Producing a cloned embryo solely for the goal of making embryonic stem cells with the same DNA as the donor cell is known as therapeutic cloning.
