Max was a sixty-year-old who wanted a clone of himself. Rorvik said that he went beyond Hawaii where there were many women who would supply eggs to carry the embryo until the baby was born. Rorvik claimed that the baby

was eventually born in California in December 1976. He wrote it was alive and healthy. (Cohen 17,18)

Before the book was published, word got around that the "first...
