Bernie Siegel was a Miami lawyer in 2002 when a cult-like organization known as the Raellians claimed to have cloned a human baby.
Siegel filed a motion in a Broward County court on behalf of the “baby,” suspecting all along it didn’t exist, and helped to expose a dangerous hoax.
He soon founded the Genetics Policy Institute and became a global advocate for stem-cell research based on science versus science fiction.
