I am pursued like Galileo -- clone baby doctor Severino Antinori, whose project has been likened by the Vatican to those of the Nazi leader, said in an interview that he was born and remained a Roman Catholic, even if his work was judged immoral by the leaders of his church. "They can call me Hitler or Frankenstein," the controversial doctor told French daily Liberation in an interview published on Friday. "Personally, I prefer to compare myself to Galileo. I am a victim of intolerance." Galileo, who started in medicine before devoting his talent to astronomy, was condemned for heresy by the Roman Catholic church in the early 17th century for insisting that the earth and all other planets revolved around the sun. Undaunted, Antinori insists he will find a place where he can carry out his project despite panic among many governments and a race to impose a global ban on the cloning of humans.
