All Stem Cell Data Fake, South Korea Panel Finds
a.. There's no evidence to back cloning research by Hwang Woo Suk. Experts say 
intense competition may drive scientific fraud.

South Korean cloning pioneer Hwang Woo Suk never made any of the 11 stem cell 
lines he claimed were derived from the DNA of sick and injured patients, an 
expert panel investigating the controversial scientist said today. 

Roe Jung Hye, Seoul National University's research chief, said the panel could 
find no evidence to support any of the claims in a blockbuster study Hwang 
published in May. The research was hailed at the time as a milestone in 
treating patients with spinal cord injuries and diseases such as Alzheimer's, 
Parkinson's and diabetes.

Last week, the panel announced that nine of the 11 stem cell lines Hwang 
claimed to have created did not exist, and it said today that the other two 
were actually human egg cells from a Seoul hospital. 

As the panel continues to examine whether Hwang succeeded in producing the 
first human embryo clones or the first cloned dog, scientists, patients and 
others around the world are contemplating a more fundamental question:

Why did he do it?
