The disgraced "cloning pioneer", South Korean vet, Hwang Woo-suk, yesterday admitted that he had used government funds to pay Russian mafia for tissue samples from mammoths, prehistoric animals that have been extinct for millions of years [Tens of thousands? - MegP Ed]. The scientist made the claims at his trial, which is being held in Seoul.



In the courtroom yesterday – when his defence was due to start – the scientist said he paid Russian mafia for tissue samples from mammoths in a bid to clone them. The experiment was repeated three times, but failed. Hwang said some governments research funds "were used for expenses while in touch with the mafia in Russia", without explaining how the mafia had helped him obtain the samples of animal tissue.
