what happens to kerrywarwoundliar on stem cell research election platform ??? Stem cell scientist apologizes to South Koreans
Hwang Woo-suk says he takes full responsibility for fraudulent research

SEOUL, South Korea - A disgraced stem cell researcher apologized Thursday at his first public appearance in almost three weeks, saying he takes full responsibility for fraudulent claims.

“I ask for your forgiveness,” Hwang Woo-suk told a nationally televised press conference in Seoul. “I feel so miserable that it’s difficult even to say sorry.”

Seoul National University, where Hwang is a professor, on Tuesday issued a final report that he fabricated landmark published claims in 2004 and 2005 to have created the world’s first human embryonic stem cells from cloned embryos.

“The use of fake data ... is what I have to take full responsibility for as first author. I acknowledge all of that and apologize once again,” he said.

However, Hwang said that he was deceived by two junior scientists, repeating an earlier claim.

Wearing a suit and tie and speaking in a subdued manner, Hwang was surrounded by about a dozen people who appeared to be supporters.

His press conference came amid reports that prosecutors had raided his home earlier Thursday, seizing evidence related to an investigation into the stem cell fraud.
