365Gay.com reports from Hollywood, Fla., that the next known clone baby will be born to a lesbian couple, possible this week. Last week, Clonaid CEO Brigitte Boisselier announced the first birth had occurred and the baby was healthy. She then said the second cloned child was for a lesbian couple in northern Europe.
Boisselier said the first baby, Eve, was born Dec. 26–the day after Christmas–but she would not say in what country. The mother is a 31-year-old American citizen. She said Eve was created using DNA from the mother’s skin cells and is a twin of her mother.
There are at least three others clones ready to be born, she added. Scientists take an egg and remove all of its genetic material, then the nucleus of any of the body’s cell is taken from the individual to be cloned and inserted into the egg.
Boisselier and Clonaid are connected with the Raelians, whose members believe humans were created by extraterrestrials, 365Gay.com reported.
