BY LifeSiteNews.com NEW YORK, Jaunary 2, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In the Raelian cult’s boldest publicity stunt to date, its amateur research subsidiary, Clonaid, alleges to have brought a baby girl clone and her 31-year-old mother to the United States to undergo genetic testing to verify that the child is a clone. Clonaid says the 7-pound girl, allegedly a replica of her mother, was delivered by Caesarean section on Dec. 26.  “The baby is going home,” said Brigitte Boisselier, chief executive of Clonaid, “Once a [DNA] sample is taken, we will see ... perhaps by the end of the week, or early next week, we should have all the details.” Boisselier said she had accepted an offer by a former ABC News science editor, Michael Guillen, to oversee verification. For his part, Guillen said he had accepted Clonaid’s invitation “on behalf of the world press on two conditions: that there be no strings attached, and that the tests be conducted by independent, world-class experts.”  However, The Guardian, Britain’s leading left-wing newspaper, raised doubts about Guillen’s credibility, reporting that his detractors “say his career at ABC was marked by a credulous stance towards eccentric backwaters of science, including extra-sensory perception, astrology and telekinesis…”  For New York Times coverage of Clonaid’s previous frauds see:  http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/01/national/01CLON.html   For the previous record of science journalist Michael Guillen see:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,866877,00.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/clonaid-promises-dna-proof-of-cloned-baby-within-a-week/
