It is widely know that astronauts with their return to Earth, have problems with regeneration of their mucle tissue. They are really weak and they
-A major benefit of therapeutic cloning is that the cells removed are pluripotent. Pluripotent Cells can give rise to all cells in the body with the exception of the embryo. This means that pluripotent cells can potentially treat diseases in any body organ or tissue by replacing
