This article was originally written for a paranormal magazine called The Paranormal Journal, it became known as The Underground Files covering ghosts, ufos, cryptozoology, and government conspiracies amongst others. I no longer write for the magazine and it is no longer in existence. CLONAID NOT LIVEAID A newspaper reported Monday that, the founder of the Raelian religion, Claude Vorilhon, a French man, known as Rael, claims to have a list of 2, 000 people waiting to be cloned by a company, CLONAID, put together in 1997 by his followers. If not themselves to be cloned, certainly a love one's name has been put forward for the procedure. After an hour long interview in Miami, Sunday, it was alleged CLONAID have a list of people willing to pay $200, 000 each for the cloning, the Miami Herald reported. On Friday, in Florida, Brigitie Boisselier, the head of CLONAID, announced the first human cloning of a baby girl, Eve, to a 31 year old American woman, though Boisselier offered no proof her claim, drawing much skepticism from scientists and renewed questions on the ethics of the procedure. Boisselier told CNN the 7-pound (3kg) newborn would return home Monday but the location would be kept secret. The Raelians, who claim 55, 000 followers around the world, believe life on earth was created by extraterrestrials, that arrived here 25, 000 years ago and produced humans through cloning. Vorilhon, describing himself as a prophet, told the Herald, he had distanced himself from CLONAID, but expects the company will make money, ultimately creating 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. Vorilhon, 56, said he did not know the identity of the alleged cloned baby or her American mother. He did suggest scientists may develop technology within twenty-five years to create a full grown human 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 said regarding the cloning of baby Eve. “The ultimate goal is to give eternal life to humanity through cloning.” Vorilhon, his hair in a topknot, dressed in what the Herald described as “white, space-age clothing from head to toe,” states he was visited by aliens on December 13th outside Paris in 1973 and was told that life on earth had been created in laboratories by scientifically advanced people from space. He also stated Raelians are the vanguard of science and philosophy. His other quotes are, “The problem is that you have men of today with tomorrow's technology and yesterday's philosophy.” “People are lost and misguided by primitive religions... they are trying to slow down science. Nothing can stop science.” Experiments in cloning on cattle, sheep, mice and other animals resulted in mixed success, as some matured defects in later in life and scientists fear the same for human cloning.
