But in many species, females do not require males to produce offspring – they can reproduce asexually. Some biologists think this kind of reproductive strategy represents the best of both worlds: engage in sex when it’s likely to be beneficial; and clone yourself when it’s not.

Clonaid is an American-based human cloning organization, registered as a company in the Bahamas. Founded in 1997, it has philosophical ties with the UFO religion Raëlism, which sees cloning as the first step in achieving immortality.

Some scientists believe clones would face health problems ranging from subtle but potentially lethal flaws to outright deformity. But let’s ignore all that–for the moment–and cut to the bottom line: How much would it cost to clone a person? According to our estimates: about $1.7 million.

Over 30 countries, including France, Germany, and the Russian Federation, have banned human cloning altogether. Fifteen countries, such as Japan, the United Kingdom, and Israel, have banned human reproductive cloning, but permit therapeutic cloning….Overview.

Eve
The world’s first cloned baby was born on 26 December, claims the Bahamas-based cloning company Clonaid. But there has been no independent confirmation of the claim. The girl, named Eve by the cloning team, was said to have been born by Caesarean section at 1155 EST.

Markquez Lao Santiago (born April 11, 1988), known professionally as Kid Buu is a rapper and singer based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. His career has been marked by his attempts to generate controversy, including claims of being a second generation clone created by the Bahamian company ClonAid.

On December 27, 2002, Clonaid’s chief executive, Brigitte Boisselier, claimed that a baby clone, named Eve, was born.

Mainstream scientists said it was unlikely that Clonaid would be able to clone anything in the near future. Although the project’s ultimate objective was human cloning, Boisselier said that pet cloning would help finance the operations.

On June 15, 1998, Brigitte Boisselier said the headquarters of Clonaid was located in Las Vegas and that Clonaid did not have enough funds for human cloning research.

Bioethicist Clara Alto condemned Clonaid for premature human experimentation and noted the high incidence of malformations and thousands of fetal deaths in animal cloning.
