...spite of such desolate circumstances, there are reasons to believe that human efforts can stem the tide of this pandemic. First of all, HIV/AIDS is no longer the death sentence it once was. Anti-retroviral therapy, a three-drug daily regimen used to treat the disease once it has progressed in the patient from HIV to AIDS, can transform HIV/AIDS into a manageable, chronic illness. And in the last few years, price reductions for anti-retroviral drugs in the developing world have made it possible to treat a patient for less than $140 per year. More than ever...

...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...
...Hwang's rush to push ahead with his work, a conflict was perhaps inevitable. "The whole issue of using human eggs and reproductive cloning is so sensitive that you have to be squeaky clean ethically," says Dr. Richard Boyd, a stem-cell scientist at Australia's Monash University. Despite the scandal, Hwang, who says he'll continue his research, remains a hero at home?last week more than 600 Korean women signed up to donate their eggs. That reaction worries Ku In Hoe, a bioethicist at Catholic University in Seoul. "Korea's representative scientist just turned...
