Clone star admits lies over eggs

[摘要] Woo Suk Hwang admitted in late 2005 that his stem cell research used eggs from paid donors and junior members of his team. Although planning to continue his research, Hwang said he would quit his other positions. Despite the confession, which shocked South Korea and the global stem cell research community, many have remained supportive. The Korean government has promised to continue his funding at Seoul National University, and nearly 800 women have signed up to donate eggs to his research through a nonprofit foundation. But critics are pushing for a deeper investigation into what happened.
