The "successful" Dolly the sheep cloning was the result of many hundreds of deformed and aborted cloned sheep. Perfecting human cloning could well take the same number (or more) of failed attempts.

Which is why I think this current news hubbub about the Raelians is irresponsible sensationalism.

From what I've read about these nuts, I currently don't believe they've actually been successful with this. I don't think they're capable of it. It's my opinion that it's either a complete hoax, or the poor "Eve" baby is going to have some very unusual and serious genetic defects.

I think the news agencies need to weight the story with more skepticism and less sensationalism.
