Before he passed away from acute Propofol intoxication in 2009, musical icon Michael Jackson was said to have cloned his DNA.

The King of Pop was said to have paid European scientists millions of dollars in order to help him create replicas of himself through cutting-edge genetic research.

He was said to have made "safe deposits" of his sperm which are now stored in three different medical facilities in different parts of the world. The performer was said to have given instructions that they be used if he died.

The one who has made the claim that Jackson prepared himself to be cloned was Director of the New York Center for Extraterrestrial Research Michael C. Luckman.

Luckman stated that he learned of the information from now-deceased celebrity fashion designer Andre Van Pier. Van Pier designed stage costumes for both Michael and his sister, Janet Jackson. The designer was also good friends with their sister La Toya.

"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," Luckman shared.

Luckman disclosed that the sperm samples were recently moved from Los Angeles to a medical facility in England for safekeeping.

The specialist, who penned the book "The Battle for Michael Jackson's Soul" shared that a lot of deceased stars may be resurrected with science in the future.

"The Battle for Michael Jackson's Soul" revolves around the artist's fascination with human cloning.

Luckman believes that cloning is not a futuristic concept, but is possible to be done now. He shared that dentist Dr. Michael Zuk, who had recently purchased one of John Lennon's teeth, is making plans to extract DNA from the tooth to clone the former Beatle.
