South Korean cloning expert Hwang Woo-suk, a science superstar disgraced when his pioneering stem cell research was unmasked as a hoax, has a new job offer from a UFO cult that says it has produced six human clones.
Clonaid, a company linked to the Raelian Movement, a group that believes humans were cloned from prehistoric alien visitors to Earth, said it had offered him a post in one of its laboratories.
The firm has never provided proof of the six clones it says it has produced and does not reveal where the laboratories it says it has are located.
Dr Hwang quit his post at Seoul National University in December 2005 after his claim to have cloned human embryonic stem cells, which could be used to treat diseases such as Parkinson's, was shown to have been faked.
