Remember the Korean “hero” Cloning Fraud Hwang Woo-suk?
Beloved by the embryo-hating scientific community and the media for his fifteen minutes and hordes of nationalistic South Koreans for much longer, Hwang Woo-suk is the antithesis of Japan’s Shinya Yamanaka. Recall Hwang Woo-suk, the Korean who claimed to have cloned humans and was later revealed to be a fraud, fake, embezzler, etc etc.

South Koreans are still not convinced and some Korean women are crying, begging him to use their eggs.
Here are some quotes from women on the Hwang supporters website set up to take egg donation pledges.
“Please don’t give up, doctor Hwang. Your research is my only hope. You should take all of my ova if they help,” Kim Yong-Hae
“I’m a healthy 38-year-old woman who has not given birth to a child. I am impressed by Hwang’s dedication. I want to give meaningful help to Hwang’s great work,” a would-be donor calling herself Amidist said in a message.
Hwang also said he spent part of $500 million won in private donations in attempts to clone extinct Russian mammoths and Korean tigers.
It would be funny if it weren’t for all the human embryos destroyed by Hwang Woo-suk and all those who were and are suffering from medical ailments who put faith in Hwang Woo-suk.
