rollthelosindice writes "The Boston Globe is reporting that Clonaid has no address, no board of directors, and only two employees, according to sealed court documents obtained by the Globe. Yet the group is pushing forward with plans to charge dozens of prospective cloning patients up to $200,000 apiece for its services."

    Clonaid is the best profit maker since I started buying real estate with no money down. I work from home and set my own hours.
