...first year program” and “have attained the necessary preparation for courses.” These are hardly statements of anti-religious sentiment.Exploring the guide more thoroughly, it is clear that each subject area has requirements that have been designed to uphold these ideals. The lab sciences, for example, must “cover the core concepts in one of the fundamental disciplines of biology, chemistry, or physics.” The concern with Calvary’s biology class was the use of Bob Jones University’s “Biology for Christian...
...Hwang Woo Suk, South Korea's pioneering stem-cell researcher, success comes from a willingness to work harder than anyone else. But his researchers may have taken their dedication a step too far. Last Thursday, after repeated denials, Hwang admitted that two of his junior lab workers had donated their eggs?a critical component for embryonic-stem-cell studies?for his research, and that an associate had paid other women for their eggs in 2002 and 2003. "Being too focused on scientific development, I may not have seen all the ethical issues related to my research," a grim Hwang said...
...human eggs three years ago that is the source of Hwang's trouble today. The South Korean researcher, who in 2004 became the first to clone human cells and extract stem cells from them, stepped down from the World Stem Cell Hub, but will remain in charge of his lab at Seoul National University after confirming that two members of his team in 2003 had donated eggs for stem cell research. The news came just days after Hwang's partner, Sung Il Roh, disclosed that he had paid more than two dozen women $1,500 each for eggs used...
...news was a sudden reversal to what had been a very good year for Hwang. His lab produced a series of major steps forward in 2005, including the creation of the world's first cloned dog, Snuppy, by a process that was named by TIME earlier this month as the Invention of the Year. At a website called "I Love Hwang Woo Suk," decorated with a Korean flag and pictures of Hwang with Snuppy, many members have posted messages saying they would love to donate eggs. The founder of the site staged a 10-hour, one-man demonstration in front...
...past year, Hwang also refined his human-cell-cloning process to yield the first stem cells from patients with diseases, bringing medicine a step closer to the possibility of curing illnesses from Alzheimer's to diabetes with a patient's own rejection-proof tissues. Now his new lab will try to duplicate that scientific winning streak without...
