Netflix will release an 'explosive' new documentary which features unprecedented access to notorious scientist South Korean Hwang Woo-suk. Titled 'King of Clones', the documentary is set to arrive on the streaming service within the coming days.
The documentary will tell the story of Hwang, from when he shocked the world by reporting he had cloned human embryonic stem cells, to his sensational downfall. In the mid 2000's, Hwang published 'bombshell' scientific papers that included human cloning claims.
This was seen as a major breakthrough in the scientific community, as it held the promise of potentially treating diseases and injuries by growing patient-specific replacement tissues or organs.
