After sequestering himself in a hospital psychiatric ward earlier this week, embattled South Korean cloning pioneer Woo Suk Hwang finally held a press conference on Friday. Before a packed room at Seoul National University, Hwang defiantly denied multiple allegations that he had fabricated the results of his history-making stem cell study published earlier this year in the journal, Science. During his lengthy statement, he blamed his compromised results on the possibility that his stem cell lines were switched at some point. He didn't elaborate on how or why the switch occurred...
...South Korean scientist, cloning pioneer and Snuppy creator, Woo Suk Hwang, things keep going from bad to worse. Last month, he had to admit that as part of the groundbreaking stem cell research he published in 2004, one of his colleagues had paid some women for their egg donations, and that two of the unpaid donors were Hwang?s own junior researchers. Amid the ethics controversy that ensued, Hwang was hospitalized for extreme fatigue and exhaustion. He was released earlier this week, only to find one of his former researchers on a national newscast claiming that the history-making stem...
South Korean cloning pioneer Hwang Woo Suk admitted last month that his lab accepted human egg donations from two of its own researchers, a violation of scientific ethics. Yet Hwang's televised apology stirred South Koreans and prompted many women to volunteer their own eggs. Hwang tells TIME's Anthony Spaeth via e-mail that his research must continue...
CLONING Scientists had cloned sheep, pigs, cattle, mice, rabbits, horses and cats but, until this year, never a dog. Man's best friend, it turns out, is extremely difficult to duplicate. It was Woo Suk Hwang and his team at Seoul National University who finally succeeded in turning a single cell from the ear of an Afghan hound into a genetically identical puppy. Hwang was back in the news last week when he admitted lying about the source of some of the human eggs used in an earlier stem-cell experiment. Nevertheless, many scientists suspect the techniques Hwang perfected...
...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...
