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.

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.
