Hwang May Have Falsified Cloning Data

The smoke is billowing ever thicker at Woo-Suk Hwang’s cloning lab. There are now charges being made by a subordinate and published in the Korean media that Hwang falsified some of the data he published. His university is now insisting on independent verification. Again, I have no idea if it is true. And again, a source who I trust implicitly on these issues is still betting the cloning was real. But if Hwang falsified data, the entire therapeutic cloning enterprise will be cast into serious doubt and set back years. This will be one of the biggest science scandals of modern times.
