One source (http://library.thinkquest.org/24355/data/light/details/1995.html) claims that the sheep Megan and Morag were cloned in July 1995, not "early 1996" as it is stated in the article. Anyone know what is correct?

I removed this as it is point of view: I couldn't see how to rewrite it so it wasn't so I took it out.
"It seems odd that Wilmut thinks that writing books, which received less publicity than the original "Dollymania", 10 years after the event, is rightful compensation for his claiming credit, which Wilmut himself has now said (under oath), belongs primarily to somebody else. "
I moved the photo of him and Woo-Suk Hwang to the relevant section. It seems unfair to have this as the top photo.
On the revert, text copied from here --nixie 11:50, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The Korean's name in the photo with Wilmut is Woo-Suk Hwang.
This article seems very biased, however true these accusations may be. The photo of him with Woo-Suk Hwang also seems unreasonably designed to taint him by association.
The picture with Woo-suk Hwang was on the site before the news of Hwang's fraud broke and while the latter was still famous. Therefore I do not see how the photo was designed to taint anybody.
[edit] NPOV editing
I have tried to make this article in line with Wikipedia policy, but it seems that one editor in particular (209.77.137.57) is dedicated to have her way. I think the controversy paragraph is (at best) to long and not very neutral. But I'm not entering an 'edit war', and the invitations to discuss the subject on the talk pages has not been fruitful so far. Any second opinions about this?
Somebody really hates this guy. It hardly does any justice to someone on the web looking to learn about Ian Wilmut, the details of his experiment, early life, work, inspirations, academic credentials. God. Looks like a pro-Life Stem Cell person wrote this. --பராசக்தி 05:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Why does the science have to be related to geo-politics?
One of the main sources for the information is the The Center for Genetics and Society. "A nonprofit information and public affairs organization working to encourage responsible uses and effective societal governance of the new human genetic and reproductive technologies". It is aligned with liberal/left of the U.S. Democratic party, hardly a pro-Life group.
