  Clonaid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clonaid is a self-described "human cloning company." It is openly associated with the Raelian Movement, which sees cloning as part of the path to immortality.
On December 27, 2002, Dr. Brigitte Boisselier, a Raelian bishop and CEO of Clonaid, announced to the world press that Clonaid had successfully cloned a human being.
They are surprised that Clonaid does not appear to be affected by these problems; either Clonaid has been extremely lucky in discovering a superior method of cloning, they claim, or the company is making false claims.
