"I want to know why they want to stop people doing this when they cannot have children by sexual reproduction," he told the Frontiers programme.

What part of "98% failure rate and horrible mutations among the survivors" doesn't he understand?

Mark my words! If this creep pulls it off, God is going to be pissed beyond belief. BTW - Remember that movie "Boys From Brazil" where Dr. Mangele (a/k/a Barbara Boxer) manages to clone 94 Adolf Hitler's? Think about it. For victory & freedom!!!

a woman will be pregnant with the first human clone this year

Good to hear that the world is continuing to go about its business "normally".

This is morally wrong ( an atrocity).

But scientifically, it is stupid. You see, there are two DNA types in a cell, the nuclear DNA and the Mitochondrial DNA (which is mainly famous for matching you with female relatives for you out there who are detective story junkies)

In clones, the nuclear DNA doesn't match the mitochondrial DNA. As a result, few clones live to maturity (it took 200 tries to get Dolly), many that are born either die quickly or prematurely age.

In other words, aside from all the embryos he kills trying to make one clone (for egotistical reasons), he also puts the surviving baby at risk
