ABSTRACT

The Hwang scandal is a science fraud case that involved Dr. Hwang WooSuk, a South Korean veterinary researcher, and his Seoul National University research team. They published two articles on human stem cell cloning in Science, fi rst online, on 12 February 2004 and 19 May 2005, and then in print, on 12 March 2004 and 17 June 2005. But a Seoul National University panel investigating their work released a report on 10 January 2006 demonstrating that the Hwang team fabricated evidence of human cloning. So the Hwang scandal is added to other world-famous science frauds.
