Hwang Did Not Clone Embryos in 2004

So, Hwang has apparently never cloned any human embryos nor created cloned embryonic stem cells. But he did clone Snuppy the dog.

The stories about this fiasco are almost all being written as if it were a crushing blow for people with degenerative diseases. I can understand their disappointment, but it could be substantially mitigated if the media would report on the adult stem cell successes that are already beginning to do what cloning only hoped to begin doing in ten or twenty years. Their ongoing refusal to do so is a terrible indictment of the state of contemporary journalism.
