Promise of as much sex as you want and everlasting life (cloning cult)

There would be some positive aspects to cloning:

perhaps cloning someone like Helen Keller to see what see could have been like.

clone homosexual, raise them 'anonymously' to see if homosexuality is genetic....

In between classes, Vorilhon says, he received the devoted attentions of six "voluptuous and bewitching" female robots.

This gives insight into what Austin Powers would have become if he was not a secret agent.

Uninhibited sex is an important feature of Raelianism...

I contemplated this at length in 10th grade.

When's the Hale-Bopp comet due back on this side of the galaxy?

[Lunatic Fringe]

He wanted only good-looking women for his Order of Angels

THEN EXPLAIN THIS!

Rael found that his baggy white suits, his medallions and his topknot of hair - which he claimed was an antenna for receiving extra-terrestrial messages - made him a laughing stock in France. So he moved to Canada.

I love the subtle implication of the second of these two sentences.

There would be some positive aspects to cloning:

The real reason is so that all of us guys can have one of these

or a "Kobi Tai," or both.

[Larry Lucido]

four-foot-tall alien whose skin was "white with a slightly greenish tinge

So they would be members of the Green party?

On further investigation, it turns out the "alien" was actually Montana Libertarian candidate for Senate Stan Jones.

ROTLMAO

But why not San Francisco?

[A CA Guy]

A "French" connection...that explains everything!

[KineticKitty]

You know I really shouldn't be making light of this, but EVERYTIME I read "Clonaid", (I know that it is pronounced (Klow-nay-d) I just have to laugh because I keep thinking they've left the "w" out.

Clownaid.

Just what we need ...clones of people stupid enough to believe in these alien stories by a frenchman.

Holy Brush Twice a Year, Batman! Its apparent that bad teeth aren't just a British thing.

[crypt2k]

Perhaps part of the cloning process involves using growth media cultured from unbrushed teeth.

[strela]

Some things are just too horrible to contemplate. If they need a growth culture that badly, they can have the green stuff growing on top of the sour cream in my fridge.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Vorilhon writes that he was hiking in central France in 1973 when he was approached by a four-foot-tall alien whose skin was "white with a slightly greenish tinge, a bit like someone with liver trouble".

Liver trouble. Or heart trouble. Or premature aging. Or any other of the many problems your clones might face.

Maybe it will be Rutger Hauer. Maybe it'll squash your empty head for your trouble.

[jellybean]

A Raelian bishop called Brigitte Boisselier volunteered to be Rael's head scientist.

I won't even touch that...
