cloning can be use to plant better crops where genes from different organisms will be taken to improve taste and nutritional value or provide resistance to particular types of disease can be used to genetically engineer food crops.
Also, reproductive cloning can be used to develop efficient ways to reliably reproduce animals with special qualities. For example, drug-producing animals or animals that have been genetically altered to serve as models for studying human disease could be mass produced. cloning also could be used to repopulate endangered animals or animals that are difficult to breed.
'Therapeutic cloning technology may some day be used in humans to produce whole organs from single cells or to produce healthy cells that can replace damaged cells in degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Much work still needs to be done before therapeutic cloning can become a realistic option for the treatment of disorders.'
