We have no idea, we have no proof of what they have done. It would have been easy to demonstrate. The spokesperson is not a stable, reliable person and the whole idea that these people with no scientific background, with no support, with no history, with no track record could produce a clone child is simply beyond belief." 3.23 (U6)EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND (FILE) (SKY-NO ACCESS UK/CNN/INTERNET) 18.
