This from the London Times today, reporting on the Hwang fraud:
“The paper reporting the birth of Snuppy did not include DNA tests that were needed to prove the dog was a true clone.”
And yet, it passed peer-review muster, as did the fraudulent paper claiming 11 cloned stem cell lines, as did the 2004 paper claiming to have created the first cloned embryo, but which is in doubt because photos are duplicates. I think the scientists involved in overseeing these published papers have a lot to explain. Where was their skepticism?
