Sect claims world's first human clone

A sect claims the world’s first cloned human – a girl – has been born. The child was born yesterday by caesarean section and the birth “went very well”, said Brigitte Boisselier, a French chemist and member of the Raelian sect.

Boisselier has called a news conference in Florida today to make the announcement and a spokesman said she would have an “independent inspector” take DNA evidence from baby and her 30-year-old-mother.
