...study originally stated, all been unpaid volunteers. After that, he said, they will await the reports from the investigations conducted by the South Korean Ministry of Health and by Seoul National University, where Hwang is a faculty member, and where he will continue to do stem cell research, to determine whether the integrity of Hwang's results were compromised in any way. So far, that does not seem to be the case. "We have no reason to doubt the scientific validity of the study," says Kennedy...
...there's any consolation for Dr. Woo Suk Hwang, the South Korean stem cell pioneer who abruptly resigned Thursday from an international stem cell facility he helped to found amidst an ethics controversy, it's this: at least his own lab now has plenty of women willing to donate their eggs for research...
...lack of 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...
...taking a shower left him exhausted. After his doctors told him there was nothing more they could do, Grinstead turned to the Internet for ideas.

Initially, he used his celebrity to pass a stem-cell research funding initiative and a major bond issue that tempered rising budget deficits, while working well with a Democratic-controlled legislature to secure passage of a popular gun-control law and environmental measures. But perhaps because success came so easy, he stopped playing the role of consensus builder. After all, many of the ballot initiatives he pushed--as well as his failed effort earlier this year to bring the costly public pension system under control--made sense. California's redistricting...
