Subject: RE: BS: Here come the 'Raelian' clones
Don't worry, they're full of crap. You heard it here. Take it to the bank. What they're talking about is not truly "cloning" anyhow, so their ignorance is on display.

Saw the leader interviewed, and he said the purpose was immortality -- i.e. clone yourself, then "transfer the data from your mind into the clone". Now THAT'S the tricky part. Nuts, nuts, nuts.

Scary part is that someday, someone will actually do it, so perhaps it's good if these kooks spur us to work out all the ethical issues now.
