Cloning scientist Hwang Woo-suk loses Korean citizenship after taking UAE nationality
Original: citizenship
South Korean cloning scientist Hwang Woo-suk has acquired UAE citizenship and thereby lost his South Korean nationality, which Korea does not permit dual citizens to retain. The disgraced former Seoul National University professor, best known for the falsified 2000s stem cell research scandal, is now reported to be seeking restoration of his Korean citizenship. The case has drawn attention because of his dramatic fall from scientific prominence and his unusual new ties to the UAE.
Why now: The disgraced stem cell scientist taking UAE citizenship and losing Korean nationality is an unexpected twist in a long-running scandal
