Experts have repeatedly dismissed Antinori's claims and say they doubt he is capable of achieving a cloned pregnancy.

Severino Antinori offered no evidence for his assertion

We will know in mid January. Problem will be how to tell if is a real clone and not just a normal 1+1 = 3 situation.
If the mother is going to make a bundle from the publicity, can she be trusted?

I can't wait until the point where they've made a clone of a clone of a clone of a clone... it'll end up looking like Michael Jackson and probably be allergic to everything.

Wilmut said Antinori had said he had cloned large number of pigs and even primates, but no one had seen them and no scientific paper had been published.

Thats because he is the pig!

This is an awful, horrible thing. We are technically ready to do cloning on a human as people in the Dark Ages were to do advanced brain surgery. I am against most violence, but the physician who does this is doing it free from the burden of knowlege or ethics. He wants to be the first, and I hope if (when) horrible things happen to this poor person, they carve the living flesh from the doctors bones one pound at a time.

if cloning doesn't happen now it'll eventually happen for sure. some person somewhere will try it whether it's moral or not.
