Woo-Suk Hwang

Article Abstract:

Woo-Suk Hwang, a veterinarian by training and a prominent scientist in Korea, fell into disfavor with bioethicists amid questions over whether a graduate student in his lab donated eggs for his experiments. Critics believe that the government is using Hwang's fame to promote science and is reluctant to investigate anything that might tarnish his reputation.
