This show will get to the bottom of all those questions you need answers to. Each week we will cover a topic that has been left out in the public square unattended and covered with questions from the “official story” You will be able to determine on this show if the topic has been deemed a “Conspiracy” or a “Conspiracy Theory”.

Cloning – You take an egg and you take the nucleus out of the egg. Then you take a body cell from the individual you want to clone. It could be a skin cell, it could be a liver cell, it could be any cell, and you take the nucleus out of that cell and then put it into the egg. And now what you have is an egg that looks a lot like a fertilized egg because our body cells have all the DNA we need to be an individual. Now the question is can you get that egg to start reproducing? When we use electricity we give the egg a little jolt and it begins to split and become an organism.
Let's talk about someone who almost made cloning mainstream and was labeled as South Korea's cloning hero and quickly became a scientific outcast. Dr Hwang Woo-Suk – a Stem Cell Scientist. We all have heard of Dolly the sheep but in 1995 Dr. Hwang's team cloned ”Super Calf” After 8 years of research they were able to create a cloned calf using cell nuclear transfer techniques in his lab at Seoul National University.

Dr. Wolpe stated “We started selectively breeding animals many thousands of years ago. But something much more powerful is happening now, for the first time in the history of this planet we are able to directly design organisms. We can manipulate the plasms of life with unprecedented power. It’s not science fiction.” “It is theoretically possible that before too long we will be biotechnologically capable of creating human beings that glow in the dark”
I will now quote Dr Ian Malcom “…Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should.”
Let’s talk about someone who almost made cloning mainstream and was labeled as South Korea’s cloning hero and quickly became a scientific outcast. Dr Hwang Woo-Suk – a Stem Cell Scientist. We all have heard of Dolly the sheep but in 1995 Dr. Hwang’s team cloned “Super Calf” After 8 years of research they were able to create a cloned calf using cell nuclear transfer techniques in his lab at Seoul National University. The Dr said that when this technique is ready to be applied to domestic livestock farms in Korea, there will be huge savings on imports of about 700 billion won. No one had ever heard of this Dr before and he was like a pioneer in this cloning technique. Since calves were so expensive at the time it was breaking news when Hwang succeeded and of course, the government wanted a piece of the pie so they arranged a meeting between President KIM DAE-JUNG and the DR. This was a big deal because regular citizens never were able to meet with the president. After this, he sorta blew up and had hundreds of cows that he was cloning. He moved into other animals as well specifically he wanted to clone a Korean tiger which was very symbolic to both North and South Korea and his thought process was that he could have the 2 nations come together because it was their common heritage. And BTW on a side note, the Koreans were the people group that endangered this species. And the good Dr thought that if a North Korean tiger, a gift from the North could be cloned using South Korean technology there would be no greater scientific event. He went on public TV and made the claim that he would succeed by the year 2000, he knew that by getting the public behind him, the research funds would be easy to obtain. At that time there were no Korean tigers in South Korea. In North Korea from Pyongyang Zoo, there were the last 2 Korean Tigers still alive 1 male and 1 female they were sent to South Korea. So here is where we kinda get weird, The Dr stated that the easiest egg to obtain was the pig egg, compared to other animal eggs pigs were easy to use for surrogates. So they used the Korean tiger donor cell and injected that into the pig egg. Then they took it to the next level and used the cow egg. Once they confirmed that development was possible they moved on to using domestic cats. After that, they used lions and tigers to be surrogate mothers. There were complications and the large cat died and that is when they stopped the experiment and no tiger was cloned. But that did not stop the mad scientist! He then cloned successfully for the 1st time an Afgan Hound which is named Snuppy. Which is an acronym for Seoul National University and Puppy. After this successful clone, the good Dr believes that cloning almost any other animal is possible. So the researchers on Dr. Hwang’s team had what they call chopstick hands very fast when removing a nucleus from the egg and they stated that foreigners have slower hands.
Then the Dr got a call from the UAE about a legendary camel named Mabrukan that had died 10 years ago but they cut off his balls and froze them. and Bob is your uncle. He cloned 11 Mabrukans and the Arabs treat them like royalty. Since he started working at Biotech Research Center in the United Arab Emirates he has cloned over 150 camels. Now the question is this, fellas was Mabrukan brought back from the dead? was this the same animal or just a copy?
Ok, this dude in Budapest reached out to the Dr and wanted his pug cloned because his pug was dying and they sent him a cloning kit! He took samples from the ears then shipped them to England and then to Korea and then to Abu Dhabi. they had lots of failures but finally were able to get the guy his cloned dog Csillo. He was unsure what to do with the original dog that was dead so he put the dog in the freezer. Until he could get him to a place where he could be celebrated.
Dr Hwang has cloned about 1600 dogs, not sure of the number but cows pigs, wolves coyotes cats horses.
2004 the South Koreans started cloning Humans, they had about 30 human embryos cloned. They stated that the goal is not to clone humans but to advance understanding of the causes and treatment for diabetes parkinsons and other diseases.
So they started with 16 women who were given hormone treatments to produce a large number of reproductive egg cells then just used the same techniques that have been successful in the past on animals. Then they would take body cells from the same women who had donated the egg cells. The body cells have 2 sets of chromosomes the full genetic blueprint needed to create a human being. The scientists then removed these cells’ nuclear material and placed it into the egg cells. The result was 66 cloned eggs with the exact genetic makeup of the original females.
So Dr Hwang claimed that he had 16 women who gave 242 eggs and he claimed that these were all volunteers who were doing this out of the goodness of their heart because they believed in his research. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that most of the female lab workers on Dr Hwang’s team seemed to look like there was some coercion involved.
Then in 2005, a popular investigative journalist show called PD Note was tipped by a whistle-blower who worked on Dr Hwang’s team. The person who met with the show was Han Hak-soo, so he claimed that Dr Hwang had made illegal transactions with regard to the eggs. Those eggs were illegally traded. So come to find out instead of getting eggs from women who stated they donated their own eggs. He purchased eggs from a brokerage online and the women who sold the eggs had no idea that their eggs were being used in Dr Hwang’s experiments.
The country was in an uproar and numerous protestors who supported Dr Hwang demanded that PD Note stop the story on Hwang. Dr Hwang stated that if he was a woman he would extract his own eggs.
Also, the paper that Dr Hwang published on his stem cell research and it was discovered that the images of the stem cells were manipulated and scientists on his team would see Dr Hwang change raw data figures to fit the outcome he wanted. so bottom line is he falsified his data to say that there were 11 stem cell clones when really there were only 2.
On May 12th, 2006 Dr Hwang Woo-Suk – a Stem Cell Scientist was charged with fraud, embezzlement, and violating the safety of bioethics law, and was sentenced to one year and six months in prison and two years of probation.
Dr Hwang stated that he did this because of his excessive greed.
Now fast forward to 2012, deep in the Kazachye region just east of Siberia Dr. Hwang traveled to an excavation site where the walls of the cave were covered with ice crystals and this is where they discovered an elbow bone of a young mammoth. Dr. Hwang was ready to give his life for this discovery, they were looking for one single living cell. His goal for this project would be to put a few mammoth between North and South Korea. (pause for effect) Dr Hwangs thinks that the mammoth would be the initiation of the reunification of the 2 countries.
To quote Dr. Ian Malcom again for some advice for Dr Hwang is
“Genetic Power’s The Most Awesome Force The Planet’s Ever Seen, But You Wield It Like A Kid Who’s Found His Dad’s Gun.”
Also, I feel like there should have been this conversation
John Hammond: Don’t worry, I’m not making the same mistakes again.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: No, you’re making all new ones.
So now Chinese researchers have successfully cloned 2 healthy monkeys, using the same technique that produced Dolly the sheep 2 decades ago. Quote “In principle, any primate, including humans, can be cloned.”
