CREATE ETERNAL LIFE
Vorilhon, who describes himself as a prophet, told the Herald that he had distanced himself from Clonaid since its founding but expected the company to make money and to ultimately create eternal life.
"It's a commercial company and her goal is to make as much money as possible, and I hope she will make as much money as possible," Vorilhon said of Boisselier.
He said scientists may develop technology within 25 years to create a full-grown human clone in hours and to "upload" the contents of a person's brain into the clone.
"It's a very beautiful step, but it's just a step," Vorilhon, 56, told the Herald, referring to the alleged cloning of Eve. "The ultimate goal is to give eternal life to humanity through cloning."
Vorilhon, who had his hair in a topknot and was dressed in what the Herald described as "white, space-age clothing from head to toe," claims to have been contacted on Dec. 13, 1973 outside Paris by aliens who told him that life on Earth had been created in laboratories by scientifically advanced people from space.

To buy a clone of yourself is one thing, but lots and lots of people will be rushing to lay down some greenback for some cheap eternal life.

Plausable legal retort by a cloner, based on Roe
v Wade:
Keep the law off "my" Body.

The process sounds like a form of induced reincarnation on the physical and mental levels. If the soul, in fact, reincarnates as has been considered over the ages and the clone "reincarnations" become a reality, then we may be headed for some sort of karmakaze of the psyche.
The Monsters from the Id will be multidimensional, fading in and out of 3-dimensional form invading our physical, mental, psychic, and noetic space. That ain't good.

"The ultimate goal is to give eternal life to humanity through cloning." well, to give eternal life to some of humanity ... the clones and embryonic humans rejected in the process are not to be allowed even a short lifetime since they will be dross for the discarding. This is the new cannibalism of our 'modern' world.
