"Even if I die, it will be in my lab."
Dec. 10, 2005 - Hwang Woo-suk
Everyone was shocked when the schools's review panel announced the investigation result of Hwang Woo-suk's stem cell study. His research team has fabricated the data for an article he submitted to Science on customized stem cell cloning. From scientists to politicians and hundreds of women who had pledged to donate their eggs for research, emotions ranged from disbelief to disappointment and even anger. More investigation result will come out early of this week.
Hopefully, the DNA fingerprint test could confirm the two existing stem cell lines. If not, it's still a long way for providing cures for various ailments such as spinal cord injuries, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.
