Hwang Woo Suk is a liar.
There was at least one honest research group, with very promising results, that was shut down 5 years ago, becuase of his lies. They (the people doing the funding) figured that he was so far ahead, that it was pointless for them to continue.

Luckily this type of behavior is probably only representative of 1% or so of scientists.
