A UFO cult said on Saturday the world's second cloned(克隆)baby had been born to a Dutch woman but cloning experts swiftly dismissed the claim as a baseless stunt. (花招)
“A baby girl was born yesterday evening. The baby is healthy and the mother, too. ”Bart Overvliet, head of the Raelian movement's Dutch branch, told Reuters by telephone.
The woman was now in the Netherlands with her partner, he said, although he did not know where the birth had actually taken place, or even if it had been in the Netherlands itself.
The birth resulted from a procedure by Clonaid, the cloning firm that said it had organized the birth of the first human clone, named Eve, to a 31-year-old American on Tuesday, December 26.
But Harry Griffin, head of Britain's Roslin Institute which cloned the fist adult mammal, Dolly the sheep, in 1996, said the group had provided no proof that two cloned babies existed.
“There is no mason to believe this is anything other than a long drawn-out publicity stunt, ”he told Reuters.
Colnaid's claims have led to widespread doubt among mainstream scientific experts and the company has not yet to provide DNA samples or other evidence to support its claim.
Severino Antinori, an Italian fertility doctor involved in separate human cloning projects, said he thought the report of the record clone's birth was as fake as the first.
“This news makes me laugh. It's a mystery to me how anybody could believe these people who have no scientific track record. It is an absolute lie. ”He told Reuters.
