It turns out that the infamous Korean scientist Hwang Woo Suk unknowningly accomplished a scientific first possible more important that the one he fabricated.

In 2004 Hwang Woo Suk fabricated data and claimed isolation of stem cells from cloned human embryos. But recent analysis of his data has indicated that his cell lines were created by parthenogenesis, where development is sparked spontaneously from the egg alone, rather than from the union of egg and sperm. Here is the recent Cell Stem Cell article -
