Korean Cloner Under Fire
British journal Nature has challeneged the ethics of Seoul National University professor Hwang Woo-suk's cloning experiment, alleging that eggs were gathered from Dr. Hwangs own students. [Tellingly, that was the only ethical violation the journal was able to find.]
Here are Nature's articles:
Korea's stem-cell stars dogged by suspicion of ethical breach
Ethics of therapeutic cloning: A moment of triumph for South Korean science appears to have been marred by doubts about lab practice.
Stem-cell research: Crunch time for Korea's cloners: A team in Seoul has stolen a march with its work towards human therapeutic cloning. The researchers have been fêted, but an ethical controversy may threaten their work. David Cyranoski investigates.
And here is Dr. Hwang's defense:

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
