SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea is making a concerted effort to apply the science of stem-cell research to finding the cure for terminal illnesses, but there is still a long way to go, a pioneering South Korean scientist said on Wednesday. 

Professor Hwang Woo-suk, the scientist who cloned the first human embryo, said it would be wrong to mislead terminally ill patients into believing that the cutting-edge research meant a cure was just around the corner.
