Of course Hwang Woo-suk was a fraud. The whole field is essentially fraudulent.
The term "stem cell research" has
persistently been used to mean scientifically worthless but morally abhorrent
playing about with embryonic stem cells, together with the viciously cruel
justification of this by reference to an ever-longer list of medical
conditions.
The real stem cell research involves adult and cord blood stem cells, is ethically unproblematic, and has already yielded real, demonstrable, demonstrated results.
But it struggles to secure funding, because it is of no interest to those who cannot forgive the Catholic Church either for having educated them or for having educated the wrong sort.
Ho, hum. It looks as if no one is any longer going to feel the need to throw vast sums of money at them, anyway.
