Hwang Used More Than 2000 Human Eggs!

This is incredible. Not only was the 2004 cloning study faked, but from November of 2002 to November of 2005, Hwang used a total of 2061 eggs from 129 females, and obtained zero cloned embryos. And high school girls were volunteering to donate after he was exposed as a fraud, a charlatan, and probably a criminal since he appears to have gained millions of dollars in research funding based on false research results.

The Hwang fraud illustrates the problems with human cloning in a nutshell: The hype, the wild promises, the exploitation of women for their eggs, the eclipsing of more promising research involving adult or umbilical cord stem cells, the lack of skepticism by the mainstream media, the politicization of science—it is all there.
