Here is my video collage. It is about the Korean scientist Hwang Woo-Suk, who tried to develop a groundbreaking technique to clone human beings but broke a moral barrier in the process and was shamed. The uproar against him grew so great that he was forced to tearfully apologize on national television and be escorted around by armed guards. This collage is designed to use Woo-Suk's experience to raise the question, where does science breach the boundaries of what is right and wrong?
