How could they dare inflict this possibility on a human? My question was, why do you want to know these things? Will you be dissappointed if the very first implantation was successful and there were no "horrors?"

a baby girl genetically identical to her 30-year-old mother Why would anyone do this to their own child? Do they not understand the implications of a child having the exact same immune system as its parent? The whole purpose of sexual reproduction is precisely to scramble the genes from one generation to the next, so that disease organisms that evolve to be successful in the parent do not also kill the offspring. This woman has just given her many disease organisms (we all have millions of them inside us) a thirty-year head start on adapting to her kid's immune system. Whatever ultimately kills her will find no resistance in her child. That's just dumb.

The Raelians had active measures to try and retrieve a fiber from the Shroud of Turin or other 'Holy Relics' about a year or two ago coincidental to their announcement of about a year ago that they intended to clone a human. There had been some conspiracy theory thread quotes attributed to them that this was their intention.
If true, then I suspect they simply are working a milestone towards that same agenda. At least the reports from the lunatic fringe are consistent.......consistently lunatic.

Reminds me of Bagwan Shri Rajneesh aka Osho and his free love cult... free sex with multiple partners will always attract.
Yeah I have a problem with them as well but that does not reflect on the expertise of a follower.

I would rather it be one birth, and the child is healthy honestly. I seriously doubt it though.
I am not opposed to cloning, per se... just as I am not opposed to in vitro. The state of the technology as I know it though, concerns me about what is being done here however. If the health of Dolly, and the failed attempts to create Dolly are an example, this IMHO is highly unethical.
If they have cloned on one try, I am not going to automatically oppose it. A woman needing a transplant of some sort, could be gifted with life, as well as giving life to another.

They didn't have "balls" to clone a boy.

It is possible to read all of the prophecies in terms of a male or female.

AFP English language report via Drudge link -
Clone baby birth claim
December 27, 2002
A BABY has been born through cloning, French scientist and member of the Raelian sect Brigitte Boisselier have claimed. The baby, a girl, was born on Thursday by caesarean section. The birth "went very well," said Boisselier, president of the human cloning society Clonaid, on the telephone.
As the effort by the Raelians to achieve the first human birth by cloning was carried out in the utmost secrecy, it was not immediately possible to obtain any independent scientific confirmation that the baby was in fact a clone.
