Send In The Clones ...

It comes too late for Christmas, but BioFusion Tech Inc.'s RMX 2010 cell fusion machine will let you make your own clones IN YOUR VERY OWN HOME! The $9,199 device comes from the folks who make the cloning equipment used by the Raelian Sect's Clonaid baby labs.

Now, this is one of the low-end cloning machines on the market, so buyers should not expect a full-featured machine.

BioFusion officials told AP, who told Alan Boyle, who pens MSNBCi's Cosmic Log blog that the RMX 2010 process has limitations: “An egg and a somatic cell from different individuals can’t be fused.” said a company spokesman.

That means it can only clone women, using eggs and donor cells from their own bodies -- therefore no Sonnys, only Chers. Make sure you get a money-back guarantee, though, in case the equipment's operation turns out to be as unverifiable as the earlier claims from Clonaid.

Ed. figures it's only a matter of time before you see Ron Popeil hawking the new Clone-o-Matic thingy on ubiquitous late night cable TV infomercials for a discount $8,999.99.
