Is clone claim a hoax?
A company called Clonaid, which belongs to the Raelian sect, claims it has produced the first ever human clone. Its leading scientist, Brigitte Boisselier, announced to the press that a healthy cloned baby girl called Eve was born on 26 December. She said that it was one of five attempts at implanting cloned embryos. This baby was cloned from the ‘mother’s’skin cells.
The Raelian movement claims to have over forty thousand members around the world. The sect, which believes that humans were designed by extra-terrestrial beings from another planet, was founded in France in 1973 by a journalist called Claude Vorilhon. He calls himself Rael and moved to live in the USA where he founded the Clonaid company.
