Rodney Dangerfield Considers Cloning

[Brown]

From Yahoo and E! Online:

Clonaid's Dr. Brigitte Boisselier says she has talked to comic Rodney Dangerfield and "other celebrities" about her firm's advertised services, which include the cloning of human babies. (To date, Clonaid claims to have pulled off five such births.)
...
Joan Dangerfield tells the Post that she sought out Clonaid shortly after her husband, who turns 82 next month, returned home from brain surgery in April. "I like to keep life interesting for Rodney," she says in the newspaper. "He requires a lot of stimulation."
...
Joan Dangerfield tells the Post she and her husband "remain skeptical" about human cloning, even as Boisselier promised to set up a meeting between the Caddyshack star and Baby Eve. The summit will happen, Boisselier says, as soon as Dangerfield commits to a confidentiality agreement.

It's hard to tell whether the cloning claims are being taken seriously or not. One suspects that the Clonaid folks must know that introducing Rodney to a baby and saying that the baby is a clone proves nothing. The Clonaid folks must also be aware that a clone of a celebrity will be much harder to hide, and if Clonaid is committing fraud, will be much easier to expose.

You know I am glad that these clone-aid folks are likely big old frauds.

Because even though I know that a clone would ahve different experiences and such and will likely turn out different than the 'donor', I STILL don't like the idea of Rodney Dangerfield v2.0 running around loose.

He just don't get no respect......
