The official Raelian web site is down inaccessible but what I've read of them sounds... different.

Really Marvinesque.

Thanks maple! My clone, Santartex, has been eliminated, until next year anyway.

Violin - soooo true.. very Marvinesqe, LOL!! I think it's somewhat ironic that a religous sect who believes that humans were put on earth by extraterrestials would be the first to clone a human. Dosen't exactly instill a sense of security, now does it?

Lyra, check any news website. I'd make a link for you but I'm at work, and my postings are of the real quick, drive-by variety.

In a nutshell, a group of folks who believe aliens put humans on earth were the first group to successfully clone a human baby.

Violin wants an edit feature so he can alter his former posts when he accidentally reveals himself/himselves.

You really shouldn't get all your news through TT, lyra.

The Raelian UFO cult claims to have cloned the first human. You can clone yourself for $200,000. Ant takers?

It's possible, Violin. Perhaps their galactic overlord dosen't carry enough earth dollars to cut them a loan?

There are probably hundreds of others of renegade labs doing the same thing. If I could clone Angelina Jolie, I'd never leave my house.

Maple, it won't work. Someone will go around cloning a bunch of Jennifer Annistons and you'll be back to square one.

Why would anyone clone a jennifer anniston when there are jennifer connelly's to be cloned?

I just don't understand.

They should clone the whole cast of "Friends", put them together, and see if they act the same way in real life.

You know, because it could be done.

If they clone a bunch of Anna Nicole Smiths, then I will be sure that Dr. Mengele had a hand in it.

I could see the headline of the N.Y. Post--

We could clone a bunch of Anna Nicole Smiths and parachute them into the heart of Baghdad. I'm going to mention this to Rumsfeld.

Quebec does it again....
Gremlin and I would be proud...first cloned human...made in Quebec. I believe the egg was from a 30 year old New York state woman.

We'll ignore the Raelian nuts.

The Raelian site is still down but I was able to get to the Clonaid site (www.clonaid.com).

They plan to clone adult humans that don't have to go through the normal growth and development process (hmmm...) and then transfer memory and personality from the host thereby acheiving imortality. There is even a link to invest in Clonaid (big hmmm...).

I'llBetSomeone'sPulledTheWoolOverTheFollowersEyes
When they cloned Dolly the sheep, she was the 277th clone...the lone and first successful one. All the 276 others were either or a combination of being grotesquely disfigured, stillborn, you name it, NOT a perfect replica of what they hoped would occur. This is what most don't know about that cloning process, how unsuccessful it truely was for a long duration.

Makes me doubt the authenticity of this UFO cult to produce a "perfectly healthy" baby when they don't have any experience in the science of cloning.

Did you hear they want to create someone who after they grow old, they'll somehow put the brains (God knows how???) into a new clone to last for another lifetime till it's life nears the end, then keep doing it to make an "everlasting" being? Can you say "FREAKS!"?

Or... They could be for real...


We could have just witnessed the dawn of a new age.

The cloak of the shadow of death falls away, leaving us as human beings able to walk among the stars. Immortal. Ageless.
