Michael Jackson 'obsessed with cloning himself'

Michael Jackson was obsessed with immortality and the idea of cloning himself, according to his former chauffeur Al Bowman.

07 Jul 2009

The King of Pop reportedly attended a Las Vegas conference on human cloning with longtime friend Uri Geller, according to Mr Bowman.

Mr Bowman, who drove the pair to the event in 2002, said Jackson was particularly impressed with a group called the Raelians, who believe the key to eternal life is cloning.

Jackson's reaction following the conference, Mr Bowman said: "Jackson was very excited.

"He bounced out of that conference like a small child. He was smiling and on a high. I heard him and Uri talking in the back of the limo.

"He was talking about the prospect of being cloned. He grabbed Uri by both arms and told him, 'I really want to do it Uri, and I don't care how much it costs'."

The Raelian sect, who believe the human soul dies when the body dies, believe in recreating individuals from their own genetic make-up.

They have a scientific arm called Clonaid, which regularly holds fund-raisers in order to share its latest research.

Mr Bowman, 50, Jackson's driver for 10 years, told the Daily Mirror he remembers the singer talking about the cloning of Dolly the sheep in Britain in 1996, saying that the singer was "totally fascinated by it".

"Michael said he wanted a mini-version of himself cloned to carry on his legacy. He was hoping that Michael Jackson could live for ever," he said.

Lord help us—another one!

The poor, stupid SOB.

God rest him. Anyone who could be that interested, reportedly, in making a version of himself is beyond serious problems. He’s talking to Old Harry.

Well, I feel better now, he was in cahoots with Uri Geller and the Raelians. At least now we know the answer to “is he nuts?”

Thats all we need, a few hundred pedophile freaks running around..

Cloning does not equal immortality.

The guy who gave the ending prayer today was great! One of his sentences was “now the king of Pop must bend his knees to the King of Kings” (as close as I can remember). Couldn’t believe it!!

Stupid editors. "Clowning" is spelled with a "w".

First golden rule of cloning;

1. Never ever clone something that's all f-d up.

I believe Michael Jackson is a case study for those who wish to see what's the worse that could happen, if a child becomes extremely popular.

Something clicked off in the guy in the late 1980s, and he just went psychotic.  By the mid 1990s his physical appearance was in the process of a complete
transformation.  He became a mutant human being.  Certainly his physical appearance has become monsteresque.  His resemblence to the tallented young man
that with others created the Thriller products was complete gone.  He was having problems being an adult.  He seemed to live in some fantasy world of children
and sugar plum fairies.  Beyond the concern for other people's children, my concern for the last decade or so, has been his children.  If they aren't screwed up
beyond belief, I'll never understand how they avoided it.

I'm just glad no children will be around this guy ever again.

13% is good.  100% is better.  You know you're going to do it.  Pull the trigger!  You don't have to pay it all now.  $5 now, $25 next week, $10 later... keep the ball rolling.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)

Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.  There are horderves, hot women with short skirts, and beer too.  Alert, the pizza just showed up!  It's a partaaaee...
Ladies, there were 15 lifeguards over there a few minutes ago.  (I'm beginning to feel a bit guilty... heh heh heh...)

Michael could have had eternal life. Sad, he didn’t choose that option.
