 Cloners in State of Complete Moral Disconnect
The infamous Dr. Woo-Suk Hwang, head of a team of South Korean scientists who cloned the first human embryos to use for research, said at a press conference that cloning experiments were “dangerous, complicated and unethical,” and that he would never consider making human clones.
This would appear to be an extraordinary admission of guilt for the man who was catapulted to international fame by being the first to successfully clone human embryos, and then to be the first to create cloned embryos specifically tailored to individual adults for use in disease research.
Hwang, however, insists that what he is doing is not human cloning.

Hwang said that he was resigning all his official posts including the chairmanship of a new research body, the World Stem Cell Hub, established last month to produce stem cell lines here.
Hwang's work has been revolutionary in the scientific quest to do 'therapeutic cloning' - to use nuclear transfer in order to make embryonic stem cell lines, and to do it more efficiently and faster than anyone thought possible.
Hwang, I fear, could firmly establish in the public mind the view that stem cell researchers as a group cannot be trusted, not only because they are in a hurry and miss things along the way, but because they may be willing to deceive their own peers and the public about their devotion to ethics.

 Donald Curry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Curry, who had an amateur record of 400-4, made the 1980 United States Olympic team, but could not compete due to the U.S. boycott.
He then started his pro career and rose to superstardom rather quickly, putting together an undefeated streak that culminated in a 15-round points win over Jun-Suk Hwang of South Korea in 1983, giving Curry the then-vacant WBA welterweight title.
He then defended this belt mostly by KO or TKO, against the likes of Nino LaRocca, Elio Diaz, Roger Stafford (whom he beat within a round), and Colin Jones.

It came as quite a shock to korean academics to learn that Woo Suk Hwang's papers on patient-specific stem cells were fabricated.
It took the actions of an anonymous whistleblower to unmask the deception and dishonesty of Woo Suk Hwang.
It is noteworthy that the whistleblower chose to make his allegations anonymously--even though he was no longer working in the laboratory--and to a TV program and not to the university involved or to regulatory authorities.

Hwang's methods are controversial, however—particularly in the U.S.—and the White House immediately criticized the experiment.
The crux of that breakthrough is this: each of the newly created stem-cell lines is genetically identical to one of Hwang's patients.
That means any new tissue derived from that patient's cell line can be injected into that individual without triggering an immune reaction.

The paper said Hwang rejected the request, saying the stem cell research was a national asset and he was not in a position to give out stakes in the patent.
The most likely interpretation is that Schatten did informally ask for a share of the patent but Hwang did not officially discuss the issue with his team and the government.

Researchers in the lab of Woo-Suk Hwang, the celebrated South Korean veterinarian who produced the first cloned human embryos, emphasize that they produced Snuppy in a quest to develop new animal models for studying human disease, not for companionship.
He explained that the Afghan hound was chosen because the distinctive, long-haired dog contrasts so sharply from the female dog that carried the cloned embryo to term -- a short-haired, yellow Labrador retriever.
The somatic cell nuclear transfer procedure used to produce the cloned embryo followed the same general outlines used for Dolly: Genetic material from the mother was removed from the egg nucleus and replaced with DNA from a skin cell from the father's ear.
