 | | This “cell donation counselor” could work to ensure that the patient is not operating under a therapeutic misconception. | | | The researcher emphasized that the cell donor would not receive any intellectual or property rights that might be derived from the study, and that future therapeutic applications of the study could not be guaranteed. | | | We acknowledge that the consent procedures for oocyte and somatic cell donation here described are works in progress; we believe these two procedures could be improved in various ways, although each proposed change raises new practical considerations. |

| | Because SCNT involves cloning, there are many ethical concerns in using this technique in humans. | | | For this reason, experiments of this nature have only been conducted in mice. | | | Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT), also called therapeutic cloning, is the process by which a somatic cell is fused with a enucleated oocyte. |
