A senior figure at the Vatican has commented on controversy surrounding disgraced cloning scientist Prof. Hwang Woo-suk��s embryonic stem cell research. Bishop Elio Sgreccia, the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life in the Vatican, said Korean society ��went against ethics and instead chose its own advancement.��

The cleric said this was as perilous as ��dashing down a slope without brakes.�� In an interview with the Catholic Times, Sgreccia reiterated the church��s support for adult stem cell research, saying, ��It is clear that there is a better way to carry out scientific research than the easy way, which destroys human embryos.
