Dr. Richard Seed has three degrees from Harvard, including a Ph.D.  He is a former professor and physicist.  He has expertise in developing treatments for infertility. Dr. Seed supports the use of human cloning research and practices to develop human tissue and organs for medical treatment purposes and to provide families with children. 

According to a news account in the Guardian, Dr. Seed has raised $15 million dollars in human cloning funds and bought land in Hokkaido, an island in Northern Japan.  The human cloning group's Tokyo consultant, James Ryan, says the facilities will open in August 1999 for infertile couples.  They expect around 500 baby human clones a year.   Dr. Seed said of human cloning earlier this year: "God made man in his own image. God intended man to become one with God. Cloning and the reprogramming of DNA are the first serious steps in becoming God" - Guardian 2 December 1998.
