[extropy-chat] but speaking of clones...

[Damien Broderick]

...does anyone here know if former respected science writer David Rorvik 
has yet confessed that IN HIS IMAGE (the 1978 allegedly faked book about a 
millionaire who'd been successfully cloned) is indeed bogus? Or have recent 
findings tended to *support* his much-ridiculed account? I know that some 
of the then-preposterous procedures he described turned out to be rather 
close to those devised by Roslin Institute; now that more work has been 
done toward human cloning, I wonder if he's due for rehabilitation (and if 
so the implications are startling)? Google suggests that as late as 1997 he 
was still claiming it was true: http://www.msu.edu/~millettf/cloning.html
