UFO 'Clone' Baby: First Pictures
by Richard Allen,
Evening Standard
25th March 2003

This is the first picture of one of the babies alleged to have
been cloned by a UFO cult.

Clonaid, which is linked to the Raelian sect and claims to have
cloned five babies, said the photograph on its website was that
of the third baby, a boy, born in Japan in January.

The baby is shown in a hospital incubator in a nappy with what
appears to be a bandage over its eyes. Clonaid president, Dr
Brigitte Boisselier, claimed in December that the world's first
cloned baby, Eve, was born to American parents on Boxing Day. A
second cloned baby girl was said to have been born to a Dutch
lesbian on 3 January.

Dr Boisselier later claimed a fourth cloned baby was born to
Saudi Arabian parents on 27 January, and a fifth on 4 February.
All five babies are "in excellent health=EE, according to
Clonaid's website.

The website says: "The next implantations have now started and
will proceed for a few months. Twenty couples are involved in
this second generation.

"The five happy couples of the first generation are now building
an association in defence of their rights once they decide to go
public.

"Clonaid wishes to thank the thousands of individuals who
volunteered to help and hopes they will continue to voice their
opinion in support of reproductive human cloning."

The company, the scientific wing of the Raelian movement that
believes extra-terrestrials created mankind, said the parents of
the baby born in Japan would soon prove that it had the same DNA
as its dead, older sibling.

Previously Clonaid has failed to live up to such pledges to give
evidence of its cloning claims.

The group initially promised to conduct independent DNA tests to
prove that baby Eve was a clone, but no evidence has been
produced. The photograph's presentation is the latest episode in
what many scientists say is a hoax to publicise the Raelians.

In January Dr Michael Guillen, who had been appointed by Clonaid
to oversee DNA testing, resigned after revealing that the cult
had consistently held up the process. A Miami lawyer applied to
the Florida authorities to become Eve's legal guardian, saying
that a cloned child could face serious health problems. Dr
Boisselier told a Florida court that the baby was in Israel but
she did not know where.

She said the parents had cut off all contact with the cult. The
case was thrown out after a judge ruled that the baby - if it
existed - would be outside his jurisdiction.
