Is it now possible to clone, or duplicate, human beings in the laboratory? Award-winning science writer David Rorvik says it has already been done, that he took part in a clandestine project to clone an ageing millionaire. The child, says Rorvik, is now two years old.
The scientific establishment was quick to reject Rorvik's claim. This film examines the basis for that rejection. It reveals that the background to Rorvik's story and its publication has disturbing scientific and moral implications for us all.
