Article Abstract:
South Korea's star cloner Woo Suk Hwang is asked to retract his landmark paper on the creation of embryonic stem cells from adult human tissue which created a biggest scientific scandal. Scientists fear that this scandal will damage not only the public perceptions of stem cell research, but also science's image as a whole.
