South Korea is investigating a report that a company affiliated with this cult may have implanted a cloned embryo into a Korean woman.

The investigation followed an announcement yesterday by Clonaid’s Korean affiliate, BioFusion Tech Inc, in the southern city of Daegu, that a Korean woman is pregnant with an embryo cloned by Clonaid. BioFusion said the human clone could be born in South Korea or abroad in six months.

Clonaid has faced strong resistance in the West. More information on the Raelians can be found here.
