South Korean protesters from the Raelian movement, a cult that believes life on Earth was engineered by visitors from outer space, carry paper-made lotus flowers symbolizing human eggs at a rally supporting South Korean stem cell scientist Hwang Woo-suk in front of the World Stem Cell Hub in Seoul December 18, 2005. A south Korean scientist whose work is under intense scrutiny hit back at his accusers on Friday, saying he had proof his team had made patient-tailored stem cells this year and he would produce the evidence soon. The slogans on the picket read, 'Please join a campaign for human egg donation (L)' and 'Raelian movement support the cloning of embryo.'
