Shady it is indeed. A lot of scientists refuse to believe in this mainly because Clonaid has ties to that cult that believes we were all created by cloning and descendants of extra terrestrial life forms.

A few years ago, Dr. Ryuzo Yanagimachi and his team of scientists cloned mice on my campus. Proof was furnished as soon as the world found out. The loopy doctor and her organization has not given any proof yet, so they can't expect to get credit for it.

As far as this goes, I think it's a hoax.

As far as human cloning goes, despite the wonders it could do for those with diseases, etc., I believe it's unethical. Personally speaking, I'd hate to have someone else play God for me.
