What Future Potential Benefits Of Embryo Research Do Proponents Single Out?

Scientists such as Dr Richard Seed believe that one of the future benefits of cloning would be the possibility of reversing the aging process. The technology could be used to reverse heart attacks by injecting healthy heart cells of a sufferer into areas of the heart which have been damaged. There would also be potential advances in the plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery industry. Some hope that doctors would be able to manufacture bone, fat, connective tissue, or cartilage that matches the patients tissues exactly. This would also mean that breast augmentation and other forms of cosmetic surgery could be carried out with implants that would not be any different from the individual's normal tissues, thus relieving the dangers of silicone implants.

However, it still remains the primary focus of embryo and stem cell researchers to attempt to find cures for diseases and various medical conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
