HOUSTON, TX. (GOPUSA News) -- The Associated Press is reporting that Clonaid may withdraw its offer to provide DNA proof that Baby Eve is indeed a cloned copy of her mother.

Citing concerns that the baby may be taken from the parents by the State of Florida on behalf of the baby's well-being, Clonaid has expressed a need for forty-eight hours to reconsider its decision.

In an interview with France-2 television, Clonaid spokesperson Brigitte Boisselier said, "The parents told me that they needed 48 hours to decide yes or no -- if they would do it."

Boisselier told France-2 the parents were reconsidering whether to submit to testing because of legal action taken in Florida that could result in the cloned child being taken away from them.

There is just something terribly wrong with this statement. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tqrolleyes.gif &quot;the clone's birth&quot; ~ vs &quot;the baby's birth&quot;. I just can't imagine what ramifications this &quot;clone/child&quot; might encounter down the line. Presuming, of course, that the story is true ~ which I'm not inclined to do. But I do believe that it will happen sooner or later. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sarcasm.gif

If they are backing down its a child not a clone. I clone would not be born. These statements remain me of statemants made after a certain 9th circus court rulling.

Yes, I think it will sadly happen sooner or later but not this time. This is a bunch of wacked out wierdos and the poor child is probably property anyway as far as they are concerned. http://gopusa.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/angry.gif
