STORYLINE:

A South Korean company claims to have developed a 'cloning' machine in conjunction with the controversial Clonaid organisation which announced in December (2002) that it had produced the first human clone.

BioFusion Tech Inc. displayed what it describes as a 'Cell Fusion System', known as RMX 2010, to the press on Friday.

Its president Lee Sung-sik says the machine can fuse two embryonic cells within an hour, kickstarting cell division.

Lee Sung-sik said the technology was produced in collaboration with Clonaid, who he said had two prototypes of the machine.

But he denied his company had any links with the Raelian sect, which set up Clonaid in 1997.

The Raelian sect believes beings from outer space created life on Earth. Its founder Claude Vorilhon, who calls himself Rael, says he set up Clonaid after learning that scientists in Scotland had created Dolly, the world's first animal clone.

Based in Daegu, about 250 kilometres south of the capital Seoul, BioFusion Tech Inc claims the technology will enable scientists to cure previously incurable diseases, and even extend people's lifespans.

According to the South Korean news agency Yonhap, South Korean prosecutors recently seized documents and research data from the company following reports that it had allegedly helped Clonaid impregnate a South Korean woman with a cloned human embryo.
