ANTINORI CLAIMS CLONED BABY DUE IN JANUARY

ROME, November 27, 2002 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Italian cloning promoter Dr. Severino Antinori claims to know a patient who is eight months' pregnant with an "absolutely healthy" cloned baby boy.

In April, he claimed there were three clone pregnancies underway - then in the ninth, seventh and sixth weeks of gestation. But if that was true, then the longest pregnancy would already have passed nine months in mid-November -- a discrepancy Antinori could not explain.

Experts dismiss Antinori's claims, insisting that the technology does not yet exist to pull off a successful human clone. But Antinori has always distanced himself from his own announcements -- refusing to explain his role in the experiments or to reveal the nationality or whereabouts of the alleged mother(s), and saying other unnamed doctors would be delivering the clones in an unknown jurisdiction.
