Dr. Hwang to Clone Aliens?
Just when you thought things couldn’t get stranger in the Dr. Hwang case, now fellow cloning hoaxers and the alien loving Raelian cult has offered Dr. Hwang a job:
The U.S. biotech firm Clonaid has sprung to the rescue of the embattled cloning scientist Hwang Woo-sook with an offer to join a research partnership at its secret research facility. Clonaid was founded by the Raelian Movement, a cult-like religious group that maintains humans were created by aliens and claims to have cloned a human being. The company is represented by French scientist Dr. Brigitte Boisselier.
A press release from the company on Monday said Boisselier has written to Hwang to outline the proposal. Boisselier said she believed Hwang’s discoveries to be original and that groups opposing stem cell research such as the Catholic Church conspired to undermine Hwang by making it appear as though the scientist concocted his data. She said he had become a victim of a conservative anti-scientific faction, according to the press release.
Ah yes, blame the Catholics. That is about as original as blaming the Americans for someone elses trangressions. Why can’t the kooks just admit Hwang lied and move on?
