Proof promised somewhere within 2 weeks. :unsure:

They shouldn't mess with DNA. We don't know the consequences.

Clonaid was founded by Claude Vorihon, who calls himself Rael and founded a cult called the Raelians. The company Web site lists Boisselier as "a Raelian Bishop."

The Raelians, who claim 55,000 followers around the world, believe life on Earth was sparked by extraterrestrials who arrived 25,000 years ago and created humans through cloning.

"I do believe that we have been created by scientists. I thank them for my life. If science created me, then science has done some good," said Boisselier, who has a mane of red hair streaked with grey and who dressed for the news conference in a black skirt outfit, fishnet stockings and a high-heeled boots.

Interesting guy indeed.

I think it's cool even though it conflicts with moral ethics and all that. I don't believe ETs created us though.

Yes, I'm learning to use Photoshop :D

Please excuse my annoying yet catchy Mac ads that will come and go over the next couple weeks.

Well at least you're doing it on the right machine. But, aside from the brush tool, and (possibly) an altered Apple logo, there isn't any Photoshop there. Learning to use Image Ready for the animation, I presume?

Yeah, that's it.

I heard on the news that the cloned baby is likely to die within 12 weeks or so..?

That would be a blessing in disguise truly. If this clone were to live and and continue growing, it would never have a normal, good life.

Kind of like stem cells I suppose.

Although of course we don't even know if there is a baby at all.

One of the problems with cloning, is that the cellular age remains the same. So you may only be an infant, but to your cells, you're already 40. So you age faster, and get sick faster. The cloned baby has a very short life span, for sure.

12 weeks, not sure the reasoning for that, but I don't doubt it.

To this day, no proof has been shown.

This guy is like the biggest nut case I have ever seen in my career. Well he has a theory of our origin and I think it makes more sense than the other popular one: God created Adam and Eve...etc.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe that guy, but to say he's a nutcase while the majority believes that a certain god created us is kind of funny.
