CHICAGO, Jan 9 (LSN) – Richard Seed of Chicago, who gained notoriety this week by proposing to start cloning humans for profit, has been making more and more outrageous statements to the media. Responding to critics charging he wanted to play God, Seed said: “God made man in His own image. God intended for man to become one with God. . .  . Cloning and the reprogramming of DNA is the first serious step in becoming one with God.”  On Thursday Seed told reporters that he foresees as many as 200,000 human clones a year once his process is perfected, at a price for each clone far lower than the $1 million the first one will cost.  “When I was seven years old I was brilliant and crazy. I don’t mind being called crazy, ‘’ said the not-so-humble physicist.  If cloning is banned in the United States,  Seed vowed to open a clinic in Mexico or some other location abroad.  He claims to have assembled a team of doctors to assist him, but refuses to reveal their identities.
