The head of a company that says it has produced the first human clone said on Monday that the mother and baby were home following the child's birth last week and genetic proof demanded by scientists and other skeptics should be available in a week.

Brigitte Boisselier, chief executive of Clonaid, which is linked to a group that believes mankind was created by extraterrestrials, declined to say whether the 31-year-old American mother and her child were in the United States or elsewhere.

Her claim to have cloned a human being last week drew skeptical reaction from experts in the field and she offered no proof, but said that genetic testing was scheduled for Tuesday.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which strongly opposes human cloning, said on Friday it was 'taking steps to investigate' Clonaid's claim. It said the implantation of a cloned baby into a woman is illegal in the United States without FDA approval.

Clonaid was founded by the creator of the Raelian Movement, a group that claims 55,000 followers around the world and asserts that life on Earth was sparked by extraterrestrials who arrived 25,000 years ago and created humans through cloning.


自上周某机构宣称已经成功克隆出第一个人类后，12月30日该机构负责人宣布，克隆宝宝和她的母亲已于周一回到自己的家中。此外，该机构还将在一周内向科学家和其他对此事抱怀疑态度的人们提供证据，来证明克隆宝宝确为克隆出来的。

布里吉特·布瓦耶利领导的这一名为'克隆援助'的机构被认为与一个宣扬人类是由外星生物创造的邪教组织有着联系。她拒绝透露克隆宝宝和她31岁的母亲目前是否在美国境内。

布里吉特上周宣布她已经成功地克隆出了人类。这一结果遭到了同一领域专家的质疑。她没有提供更多证据，只是透露说将于12月31日进行基因测试。

上周五，对克隆人类持强烈反对态度的美国药物食品管理局称，他们正在对'克隆援助'机构进行调查，并称不经过药物食品管理局允许就将克隆婴儿植入妇女体内是违法的。

'克隆援助'机构隶属于'雷利安运动'组织。该组织在全球拥有5.5万信徒。他们宣扬地球上的生命都是由外星生物创造的。他们于2.5万年前来到地球，并克隆出了人
