Alarm as cult announces plan to clone humans. “US scientists said yesterday that little could be done to stop a

UFO-worshipping cult from pursuing a plan to clone a human

being, after the group said it had both the money and the

medical knowledge to carry out the act.

A former French sports journalist, who calls himself Rael, and

his followers claim to be on the verge of cloning an embryo from

cells grafted from a 10-month-old girl who died as a result of a

medical mistake.

The girl’s parents, whom the group have not named, are

reportedly paying $500,000 (£357,000) for the procedure. It is

not clear whether the Raelians have begun their attempted

cloning.” Guardian
