I have been researching the difference between these two all day. It's for my argumentive essay. After reading them I think that theraputic cloning is better. So would my thesis be something like Theraputic cloing is better then reproductive cloning because of religious beliefs, benefits, and I need one more reason please.
I'm afraid you haven't understood what you've researched.
Therapeutic cloning saves human lives.
Reproductive cloning produces new animals, plants or humans.
To me -- it's far more ethical to save human lives than to produce new people, animals or plants.

I understand. That's why i said before that my argumentive edge is going to argue why therapeutic cloning is better than reproductive. Isn't that what I was stating before in my thesis. I'm confused because we have to argue against two things. I need three reasons that I'm argue for why therapeutic cloning is better. I'm just not sure what some good reasons would be.
From the second website above:
"Therapeutic cloning is intended for medical use. The embryonic stem cells that this type of cloning produces can be used to create skin for burn victims, organs for transplant patients, or cells for those with spinal cord injuries. And because the cells come from the patient herself, there are no issues of cell rejection. Therapeutic cloning may also help those suffering from heart disease, Alzheimer's Disease, or Parkinson's Disease."
Therapeutic cloning sick people by creating
1. Skin for burn patients
2. Organs for transplant patients
3. Cells for those with spinal cord injuries
4. No possibility of rejections.
