Could Michael Jackson Have Been Cloned?
livescience ^ | 07 July 2009 | Robert Roy Britt

Michael Jackson reportedly was very interested in being cloned. "I really want to do it Uri, and I don’t care how much it costs," he is said to have told Uri Geller, a self-proclaimed psychic who claims to bend spoons with his mind (boy, if I had that power I'd sure use it for something besides spoon-bending!).

Whether the news report is accurate or not, the fact is the science didn't advance soon enough for Jackson. There have been no substantiated claims of cloned human embryos grown into fetal stages and beyond, despite rumors to the contrary. The capability to so do is near, however. Could Jackson have been the first, if someone had tried? Clones have been made of mice, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, monkeys and of course sheep. The technology has been around longer than you might have thought: A tadpole was cloned in 1952.

But the process remains ineffective. About 98 percent of all cloning experiments don't work, according to a Human Genome Project fact sheet, and many of those that work result in debilitated offspring and premature deaths.

That’s probably how his last kid was conceived since no one knows who the mama was. Also, did anyone see LaToya Jackson attend Jacko’s funeral? LaToya is Jacko in drag anyway. Maybe this is how Jacko perpetrates a fraud on the unsuspecting world by coming back completely as LaToya.

Look around the mouth. Does that look like a shadow of hair removed?

Cloning? I don’t think Micheal would want to go black again?

The object is not to look at her face. On the other matter, Ted Williams is still frozen. I wouldn’t put Jacko past the same Cryogenic vault idea.

James Randi debunked Uri Geller a long time ago as anything mystical and Michael Jackson was awful broke to go saying “no matter how much it costs”.

Jeez, the man was MENTALLY ILL. Why all the stupid hero worship?

Meaningless observation...

There have been several people in a fan club I belong (that is not Michael or has nothing to do with him) and the people who are having a cow over MJ and having screaming hissy fits on how they think he was just ‘misunderstood’ and ‘too innocent’ blah blah blah are the EXACT SAME PEOPLE who were having a cow over Obama winning.

Coincedence?

There is enough supermarket tabloid possibilities on MJ, that the writers of those magazines will never run out of material. He'll be spotted more places than Elvis. His ghost will make appearances in countless places. His face will be on cornflakes, or on burnt toast. Bigfoot will have his baby. Aleins took him, and left a fake. You name the headline,its coming to a supermarket near you.
