Cloning for therapeutic transplant

This path has problems.

• the "horror" scenario, is frozen clones waiting for use.

• the realistic scenario is that advancing genetics will enable directed growth of stem cells into organs for transplant, or sheets of cells for grafting. This would be done on demand. The stem cells are never embryo's, and may in fact not derive from human eggs. Harvested adult stem cells may be a possible source of this therapy.
