A member asked:
Are there any articles of a patient receiving an organ cloning transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not that I know of: However, there have been few cases of parents that intentionally had an additional child to try and find a bone marrow donor for another child. The cloning stuff is science fiction for now.
