The headline in one of those supermarket tabloids? A plot for X-Files? Sadly, no. It's the title of a genuine news report by Lois Rogers, medical correspondent for The Sunday Times, and it ran in their November 5th edition.

As we have reported in the pages of World News and Prophecy, those who have watched the development of the science of cloning have known it was only a matter of time before humans would be openly cloned. Under the umbrella of "religion" that purports humans came from aliens, a company has been created to purchase surplus human egg stem cells from laboratories that treat infertile women.

Fertility treatment usually results in the fertilization of multiple eggs and therefore multiple embryos. For the sake of the health of the mother, the number of embryos "is pared" (read that "killed") to "an acceptable amount."

What to do with the "garbage," the cast-off embryos? The stem cells of embryos are prized by those seeking to clone humans, for they are perfect for the task. After extracting the nucleus from a mature cell of the one to be cloned and implanting it into the fertilized stem cell, those controlling the process pass a small electrical charge through the new cell to provoke division to begin. This is the science that enabled scientists to clone a sheep, resulting in the famous "Dolly."

Only now, circumstances have rushed past the debate over the ethics of doing this with human cells in order to "grow" replacements for diseased or damaged organs and directly into the heretofore theoretical arena of literally cloning humans.

The company involved plans as its first project the cloning of a young girl who died as the result of a medical accident. (Her cell tissue was frozen, which will supply more than enough viable cells to be used to clone the girl.) Her parents have provided the funding, and the cult that owns the laboratory has provided the volunteers to carry the baby.

Should they need them, 50 women have volunteered to be surrogate mothers for cloning projects.

This is no Star Trek fantasy. The reality is now, along with a myriad of complex issues. For example, two pairs of homosexual couples are on the company's waiting list. Not only will the debate over the morality of this bizarre undertaking explode, so also will the debate over the "souls" of those who are cloned. Would they be human, made in the image of God?

Brace yourself for the consequences. The cloning of humans is here.
