The biggest leap forward in embryonic stem cell research, the work by South Korean researcher Hwang Woo-suk, crumbled beneath the feet of it's supporters recently.
Apparently, Mr Woo-suk LIED about his results in an effort to outshine the successes of ADULT stem cell researchers. Why was he compelled to fabricate data? Was he concerned that experiments with Adult stem cells (those obtained from umbilical cords, fat cells, nasal mucosa, etc) would prove that destroying fertilized embryos was unnecessary?
