panel says stem-cell result fabricated." ... "South
Korea's most famous scientist quit under a cloud on Friday and could face
prosecution after investigators said results in a landmark 2005 paper on
producing tailored embryonic stem cells were intentionally fabricated."
... "A panel from Seoul National University has been examining the work
of Hwang Woo-suk, hitherto regarded in South Korea as a hero for bringing
the country to the forefront of stem-cell and cloning studies -- and the
world the first cloned dog." ... "Roe [Jung-hye, Seoul National University's
research office chief,] said the panel would now also investigate the dog
cloning and a 2004 academic paper on cloning the first human embryos for
research that has also fallen under suspicion." (1, 2)

Korean's Stem Cell Data Fake, Panel Says." ... "A
panel investigating the work of South Korean cloning pioneer Hwang Woo
Suk has concluded that he deliberately fabricated key data in a landmark
paper this year, offering the first evidence of what is potentially one
of the greatest frauds in modern science." ... "The expert panel at Seoul
National University, where Hwang conducted his research, found that nine
of 11 stem cell lines he claimed to have created did not exist." ... "Hwang's
paper, published in May by the U.S. journal Science, purported to describe
the creation of 11 human embryo clones using DNA from patients suffering
from spinal cord injuries and genetic diseases. No other research group
has succeeded in cloning human embryos, though many have been trying."
... "Hwang's team claimed it used the embryos to create individualized
lines of stem cells that were perfect genetic matches to the 11 patients.
The achievement, known as therapeutic cloning, was believed to be the first
step toward creating personalized stem cell therapies for patients." (1,

'very concerned about cloning': Vows veto on legislation

said he would veto legislation that would loose restrictions on embryonic
stem cell research and expressed concern about human cloning research in
South Korea." ... "The president also threatened a veto of legislation
that would clear the way for taxpayer money to be spent on embryonic stem
cell research." ... "A measure by Reps. Mike Castle, R-Del., and Diana
DeGette, D-Colo., would lift Bush’s 2001 ban on the use of federal dollars
for research using any new embryonic stem cell lines. Bush said he would
veto such a measure if it reached his desk."

team of scientists for the first time has produced human embryonic stem
cells genetically matched to specific people diagnosed with diseases. They
hope the advance will one day lead to growing replacement tissue to treat
specific maladies." ... "The technique, which involves cloning, will find
its most immediate use as a powerful research tool, scientists say. An
enormous amount of work remains to be done to determine if embryonic stem

Clone Stem Cells From Human Patients." ... "South
Korean scientists have surmounted a key hurdle in stem cell research, reporting
today that they have produced 11 human embryo clones of injured or sick
patients and harvested individualized stem cells in a process that could
be used to treat patients with their own genetically matched tissues."
... "The technique, reported by the same team that produced the first human
embryo clones last year, also produced the stem cells with a much higher
level of efficiency than in the past, boosting the technology well into
the realm of medical therapy." ... "If the technique can be replicated
in other labs, scientists said they could create individualized lines of
stem cells to produce tissues suitable for transplants without running
the risk of rejection." (1, 2)

for the promising field of stem-cell therapy — and for the far more controversial
endeavor of cloning a human being." ... "The achievement, to be published
this week in the journal Science, was hailed by many scientists because
it brings closer the possibility that replacement tissues might one day
be grown to treat medical conditions such as diabetes, spinal-cord injuries
and Parkinson's disease." ... "The study was conducted by a team of scientists

into a human egg cell and coaxed it to develop into a blastocyst, a cluster
of about 100 cells that is substantially more advanced than any embryo
previously known to have been created in a human-cloning experiment." ...

cells with the ability to become any other kind of cell, from the cloned
blastocyst." -By Gareth Cook -Boston/Globe

Korean researchers cull stem cells from cloned human embryo."

embryo and then culled stem cells from it, marking an important step toward
one day growing patients' own replacement tissue to treat diseases." ...
"This is not cloning to make babies. Instead it's called therapeutic cloning,
in which embryos that are the genetic twins of a particular patient are
grown in a test-tube to supply master stem cells that can grow into any
tissue --without being rejected by that patient's immune system." -By

foal is first member of horse family to be cloned."

Gem, the genetic brother of a champion racer. Researchers say two other
mule clones are expected to be born this summer." ... "The May 4 birth
of Idaho Gem adds mules to the barnyard of cloned animals that already
included sheep, cows, pigs, cats and rodents." ... "Cloning a mule is particularly
unusual because such animals, hybrids from a donkey and a horse, are almost
without exception sterile and unable to produce young." -By

"Abducting
The Cloning Debate: The scientists' nightmare:
How do you conduct a reasoned debate about complex moral issues when the
news is coming from outer space?" ... "Chemist Brigitte Boisselier, president
of the biotech company Clonaid, is a member of the Order of Angels of the
Raelian religious cult, whose prophet Rael says 4-ft.-tall green space
aliens visited him 30 years ago in a French volcano and revealed that all
of us are descended from the clones they planted here 25,000 years ago.
With her announcement of a miracle baby named Eve and the group's subsequent
claim of a second cloned birth, the most important debate in morals and
medicine is delivered into such hands to mangle." ... "The damage is done
whether Clonaid's claims are a hoax or not. The Raelians can be assured
that all the free advertising has worked, and inquiries from prospective
parents will rise with each new headline." -By Nancy

"[Florida]
Lawyer sues to force state to take custody of baby `Eve'."
... "Coral Gables [Florida] attorney Bernard Siegel on Tuesday filed a
court petition accusing the Clonaid company that claims to have cloned
the baby of abusing her like a ``guinea pig.''" ... "Siegel said he believes
the Broward juvenile court can take jurisdiction of the case because Clonaid,
originally registered in the Bahamas, conducts business over the Internet
in Florida and elsewhere, seeking to charge potential customers $200,000
for each clone." ... "But child-welfare legal experts said the case's viability
will pivot on whether baby ''Eve'' or her 31-year-old American mother have
connections to Florida." -By Jay Weaver and Noah Bierman-Miami/Herald

"Doubts
cast on reporter in cloning verification." ... "As
the alien-worshiping Raelian sect prepared yesterday to assemble proof
that a woman has given birth to the first-ever cloned human baby, some
research scientists raised questions about the impartiality and skills
of the Boston-based freelance journalist handpicked to verify the claim."
... "The journalist, Michael Guillen, a former ABC science reporter, has
maintained a close relationship with the Raelians, as well as other cloning
groups, for more than four years, often winning exclusive interviews while
aggressively popularizing their work, according to a Globe review of his
recent reporting efforts." -By Raja Mishra and Mark

baby had been born. Political leaders, meanwhile, stepped up calls for
a global ban on human cloning." ... "The reaction Saturday came a day after

cloning without prior agency permission - permission it has no intention
of giving." -By Lauran Neergaard
