Raël Predicts Human Clone in 2 Years

The Canadian leader of a "cult" which believes in UFOs has predicted that a human clone would be born within two years, despite U.S. government attempts to block it. Claud Vorilhon, now known as Raël, has said that his effort to clone a person is back on track. His company, Clonaid, was still in the process of recreating a terminally-ill man at a secret location (after abandoning a U.S. laboratory in the wake of a warning from the United States Food and Drug Administration that it would not allow human cloning experiments).

"The process is going well," Raël told journalists. "A baby will be born 12 to 24 months from now." Dressed in white and with his hair swept up in a small knot, Raël said that fears of the human cloning producing "a monster" or "Frankenstein" were unfounded because faulty cells would be discarded in the Clonaid process. "My mission is to prepare human beings for future technology," said the Raëlian leader, a self-confessed lover of the Internet and video games who was in London to promote his new book.
