    Oh sure when Tom Brady says his dog is a clone it’s newsworthy, but when I say that the Prime Minister is a clone created by reptilian lizard people and that he looks in my window at night when I’m sleeping I “need to be medicated” and “I’m a danger to myself and others” RIIIIIIGGGGHHHHHTTTY

    This is nothing new or fake. There is no need to use the word “claim” like you think he is lying. I personally have a friend who spent like $50,000 or $100,000 to clone one of her dogs… twice.

    I guarantee he has more money than she does (though she is ridiculously wealthy), so I have no doubts he did something that rich people have been doing for a decade.

    EDIT: Yes, I know that is ESPN’s headline, not OPs.

        Hands down is already happened (Speculation here). Asking forgiveness has always been easier than permission. Look at the Chinese girls genetically altered to supposedly give them an hiv resistance. They got in trouble sure but they did it before a law was passed saying they couldn’t. No law technically exists to stop human cloning. Just precedence that we all too well know means nothing anymore.

          I really don’t want to peddle conspiracy, but if we’re talking speculation… I’ve heard speculation that human clones could be used for organ harvesting to extend the life of someone. Specifically, this theory was floating around when someone overheard Putin and Xi talking about living to 150 years old (or something to that effect).

          Edit: here’s an article about the 150yo comment: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr70rvrd41ko

    So? I claim that his claim is a claim indeed. You can claim too – try it. Claiming is fun!
