Cloning pioneer or con man?: South Korean stem cell
expert Hwang Woo-suk and his team in May claimed in a paper published in the
journal Science to have cloned a human embryo, and in August, Hwang announced

Seoul National University and an investigation finding that there was no
evidence to corroborate his claims of human cloning.
