No Clones about it.

With the hubbub about stem cells and their miraculous health benefits it doesn't behoove you to lie about your findings. I personally would like to see more done with adult stem cells but some think only the infantile will do. Unfortunately for Hwang Woo-suk, lying about your findings isn't very helpful to prove your case.

In the experiment deemed fraudulent, Hwang had claimed in a paper published in May in the journal Science that he had created 11 colonies of human embryonic stem cells genetically matched to specific patients.

An investigative panel at the university reported last week that Hwang had faked the research on nine of the stem cell lines. On Thursday, it confirmed he also fabricated his research for the two remaining cell lines as well.

Now if the cloners want to get me behind them I think they need to get cloned love slaves that all look like Salma Hayek or Kate Beckinsale. Though that might take away from their enchanting character. Bah! foiled again.
