New claims state that Michael Jackson had his DNA cloned before his death.
Passing away in June of 2009, the King of Pop is said to have paid millions of dollars to European scientists who engaged in cutting edge genetic research, creating replicas of himself.
Michael had hoped that the replicas would be able to carry on his legacy after his passing, and so made "safe deposits" of his sperm in three separate medical facilities across the world, to be used if he died.
Michael C. Luckman, Director of the New York Center for Extraterrestrial Research made the claims, revealing the information was received by him after speaking to designer Andre Van Pier.
Luckman explained: "Van Pier first learned of the futuristic cloning experiments and the secret sperm deposits from a close associate at a longevity centre based in Panama. Michael's enthusiasm for cloning began with the successful cloning of Dolly the Sheep and escalated following false claims by the Raelians, a UFO cult group with headquarters in Canada, that they had cloned the first human baby."
He also said that some samples of Michael's sperm have been moved to England from Los Angeles for safekeeping, and thinks the human cloning work could be successful if carried out today.
"Michael wanted this happen, and spent time and money trying to achieve his goal. We could see many dead stars resurrected with science. Canadian dentist Dr. Michael Zuk purchased one of John Lennon's teeth at auction and has announced plans to use the DNA from the tooth to create a perfect double of the former Beatle."
