Cloning pioneer Hwang Woo-suk has created the World Stem Cell hub in Seoul South Korea. It seems their website was virtually shut down on Tuesday as they received nearly 2,600 online applications from individuals seeking cloning therapies for their diseases. The hype of cloning research has caused desparate people to seek desparate measures. Hwang Woo-suk has also said he will begin selling the human stem cell lines he has been creating to research labs all around the world. Business has been brisk for his trafficking of human body parts! UPDATE! 3,500 people have now registered as human guinea pigs.
