Actually, I am cyncical enough to think that this was a calculated press
release. It IS exactly the kind of thing that people in the US scared of.
By making this press release now, I think they are trying to push the US off
of the fence it is straddling and get them to outlaw cloning.

It would be quite profitable for a Korean company if all US competition were
outlawed.
