SA woman 'pregnant with clone'
Antoinette Pienaar

Pretoria - A woman is three months pregnant with a cloned baby, claims the president of Clonaid, a controversial cloning company.

Dr Brigitte Boisselier, who is visiting South Africa, said on Monday the baby would be black and apparently had been cloned from its Pretoria mother's cells.

Boisselier, a petite French biochemist with long blonde hair and large pink earrings, didn't want to divulge how much the parents had paid for the cloning.

"They can tell you that themselves," she said. "It costs about $100 000 (about R657 000) in the United States."

7. You and I are thinking the same way this morning...
That was my first thought...why do her earrings and hair color have anything to do with he status as a scientist?

Interesting....

5. So far, all of Clonaid's claims have been fake
Well, I guess Rael (the great Alien-visited CEO of Clonaid) had to stay in the news and come up with another Clone claim. Boisselier and Rael are both totally off their rockers, and I think the scientific community looks at them with "some skeptisism". But, if you want to clone yourself, you can buy the "home cloning kit" off their website, for just about $6,500 you can get the base model, which does cloning of household servants, dogs, sheep, and some politicians, or, for just under $10,000, you can get the all new and improved RMX2010, which will help you to clone mosquitos, Mr. Potato Head, and Donald Trump's hair.

They are just a bunch of religious nuts that think Aliens visited them and gave them cloning secrets, then they create children through plain old artificial insemination, or, perhaps its the natural method.

6. Did they get kicked out of Canada?
Is that why they're making the claims in south africa?
