"Disgraced cloning researcher convicted in South Korea"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/10/26/south.korea.scientist.stem.cell/index.html
Cloning is a crazy topic to begin, but add a researcher fabricating evidence of the first-cloned human stem cells and the scandal just blasts through the roof. That's exactly what Hwang Woo-Suk did back in 2004, only to be found out later in 2006. Now he's been sentenced to 2 years in prison on charges of embezzling money and illegally buying human eggs for his false research. Honestly, you have to wonder, if the guy is smart enough to clone the first dog (which is in fact true), you'd think he'd be smart enough to avoid getting caught embezzling money. That, or you'd think he'd be smart enough not to claim to have cloned the first human. Then again, intelligence and wisdom have never come hand in hand.
