Company Hints It Has Produced Human Clone
A New York chemist who said last week that her company would soon produce the first human clone, a baby girl genetically identical to the mother, will make an announcement today.
A spokeswoman for Brigitte Boisselier and Clonaid did not give a direct answer when asked whether they will claim to have produced the first cloned baby.
But Nadine Gary said that Boisselier intends to have video equipment at a news conference in Florida and would have an “independent inspector” take DNA evidence from baby and mother.
Many scientists are skeptical about Clonaid’s ability to accomplish the feat.
