Abstract
"Thanks to radical plans and announcements about human cloning, a Canadian franchise of a controversial new religious movement is getting world attention. The Raelians are in the news. Scientists, politicians, ethicists, academics and religious leaders all over the world suddenly are taking Rael, their leader, very seriously. Raelians proclaimed that the first cloned baby was born on Dec. 26, 2002, a stunning announcement that led to 30 million hits on their web site in one day. The subsequent media hunt for “Clone Baby Eve” (with DNA proof to be provided) paused in January after a whirlwind of political protest and legal threats."
