Seed predicted the first human clone would be announced within two years. I don't want to name any of them. Dr. Seed sparked international outrage in 1998 when he announced his intention to clone himself in defiance of political and religious leaders who oppose the idea. He has now said that his wife Gloria will be the first subject to be cloned. Seed has lately been working in Japan to establish a laboratory and clinic where cloning experiments can be legally pursued.
Seed believes that cloning is a legitimate solution for couples who have reproductive problems.
He also says cloning should be accepted because of the intellectual challenge it represents. It will launch an entirely new field of research into life processes. The understanding of life is the intellectual challenge of the third millennium. Many nations around the world already have legislation to outlaw reproductive cloning. However, many scientists believe the technology will find a use in transplant medicine.
