Non Reproductive Cloning

The third type of cloning is non reproductive cloning. Non reproductive cloning is not aimed at producing an animal or a person. It is limited only to the in-vitro phase. Consequently, the resulting embryo is not transferred to the uterus of another women or animal. It may be stimulated to grow a certain tissue line or an organ but not a replicate of the donor of the nucleus(75).
