This is unbelievable: Ian Wilmut has admitted that he did not clone Dolly the sheep. The more we learn about the cloning agenda, the less honesty there appears to have been in the field from the very start.
Wilmut has acknowledged in a court case that he did not develop the technology that led to Dolly’s birth and claims he appeared as the lead author on the paper only because of a prior agreement with his colleague, Dr Keith Campbell. (This is similar to Gerald Schatten appearing on Woo-suk Hwang’s fraudulent paper as a senior author despite not having done the actual work, for which he was criticized by his university.) Wilmut has been rewarded for this deception by becoming the head of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Edinburgh
Science, as an objective field and dispassionate purveyor of facts, is in deep trouble. The science community had better wake up or they will find that their field has come to be viewed by a cynical public as just another special interest group.
