      I am kind of surprised at how Dr. Varmus does not really seem to seriously entertain the idea that a renegade scientist may attempt to use unethical cloning techniques offshore. Maybe he really does not think it will happen, but he may well be ignoring the very real possibility of it at the peril of science.

      The experiment discussed in this video was later revealed to be fake, based on fabricated data.
