Mirror.co.uk reports that Jackson, who died last month of cardiac arrest, had apparently attended a conference in Las Vegas on human cloning with his friend Uri Geller, the spoon bender. Jackson was also interested in the teachings of a sect called Raelians and asked them if they could clone him.
"Jackson was very excited. He bounced out of that conference like a small child. He was smiling and on a high. I heard him and Uri talking in the back of the limo. He was talking about the prospect of being cloned," said Al Bowman, Jackson's chauffeur who drove him to the event in 2002.
"He grabbed Uri by both arms and told him, 'I really want to do it Uri, and I don't care how much it costs'. I always remember Jackson talking about the cloning of Dolly the sheep in Britain in 1996 - he was totally fascinated by it. Then when he heard about the Raelians, he became utterly convinced this weird religious group could clone humans.
"It was really oddball stuff, but it interested Michael. One day in the limo he said, 'They did it with Dolly'. I said, 'Dali... you mean Salvador Dali'. We both laughed. Michael said he wanted a mini-version of himself cloned to carry on his legacy. He was hoping that Michael Jackson could live for ever."

tough luck to dear MJ - in so much plenty he died without any food in his stomach, he wanted to live foreever but the clone would be another person. now he is being buried without his brain.
we love and miss you michael - what went so wrong with your life, was your childhood such a nightmare that you lost the reality of life and lived in a dream world. why could you not just enjoy the now and here when you made it. why did you replace drugs and medicine for food and procreation for the hope of clonning? and now they will bury you without the essence of your very being - they are still at it holding your brain to dissect and discover the truth - dont we all know why you died. you did a pauper amongst plenty - without love in a world where millions love you.
