The activities of disgraced Korean stem cell scientist Hwang Woo-suk are looking stranger and stranger. More details are emerging as his trial proceeds on charges of misappropriating public funds, embezzlement and illegally purchasing human eggs. It turns out that some of these funds were diverted into a project for cloning extinct mammoths. His team tried three times and failed.
