(46)Clonaid, a company associated by a group that believes
extraterrestrials created mankind, announced Friday that it had produced the
first clone of a human being. According to the spokeswoman, it is a baby
girl who appears to have been born healthy. (47) As we know,
cattle, mice, sheep and other animals have been cloned in the past years with
mixing success. (48) All cloned animals have displayed defects later in
life. (49) Scientists fear same could happen with cloned humans. (50)
The company Clonaid is viewed skeptical by most scientists, who doubt the
group’s technical ability to clone a human being. (51) But the Clonaid
spokeswoman said an dependent expert will confirm the baby’s clone status
through DNA testing. (52) Clonaid is lead by Brigitte
Boisselier a former deputy director of research at the Air Liquide Group, a
French producer of industrial and medical gases. (53) Clonaid is also
linked to a sect called the Raelians whose founder, Claude Vorihon, describes
himself for a prophet and calls himself Rael. (54) The group believes
cloning could extend human life for hundred of years. In fact, Clonaid has
been racing the Italian fertility doctor Severion Antinori to produce the first
cloned baby. (55) Antinori said in last month he expected one of his patients
to give birth to a cloned baby in January.
