Therapeutic cloning is employed to create stem cells with genetic material matching the patient, thereby preventing immune rejection by the patient's body.
Therapeutic cloning is needed as stem cells could be rejected, so these are made to have the same genes as the patient so they're not rejected by the patient's body.
