| Professor Park Se Pill with the cloned cow |
A was hospitalized with broken bones after he was attacked by the cow he cloned.
Professor Park Se Pill, 54, of South Korea, is a world-renowned embryologist, who is known for his ability to clone animals. He was attacked by the very cow he “created.”
He was hospitalized and will need at least eight weeks of treatment for his injuries.
Se Pill, who is a professor at the Jeju National University, had five broken ribs and injuries to his spine caused by the cloned cow during the attack.
"Se Pill was recording a video of the black cow, which he cloned four years ago, when it suddenly charged at him and attacked him for about 15 minutes," a university official said. The black cow weighs over 1,700 pounds. Park could not easily escape because he wore a special outfit and long boots.
Se Pill cloned the black cow by using a frozen cell, which was taken from a dead cow. Park has been recognized as one of the world’s leading cloning scientists.
Professor Se Pill said he is striving to clone human embryonic stem cells to help cure degenerative diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s. Cloning human embryonic stem cells will be a breakthrough that no scientist has ever managed to achieved.
