The story about Clonaid and the claim of the first clone birth are all over the wires this morning. Didn't we all read enough science fiction stories to know that cloning never ends in happiness? I read "Nine Lives" again yesterday, and it is still a chilling thought.

It's a strange day when I can't even retreat into my sci-fi collection for respite from the world. Back to the wizards I suppose. Even if they do keep me up til odd hours before dawn, whispering.

Or women scientists with bad accents and worse make-up.

She is a character, no doubt. I saw some British tabloid report that went on and on about her "tight all black clothes" and how the Raelians were really just a sex cult. :P

If it was just a sex cult I'd have no objections. What they do in their own time is their own business.
