	Hwang Woo-Suk – Wikipedia tiếng Việt
		Hwang's claim of not having known about the donation of eggs by his own female researchers was also denied by the panel; in fact, it was discovered that Hwang himself had distributed egg donation consent forms to his researchers and personally escorted one to the MizMedi Hospital to take the egg extraction procedure.
		Hwang's statements are still fueling patriotic feelings from the Korean public, with many believing him and letting their imaginations take over, with conspiracy theories in the air, including claims that the United States deliberately sabotaged Hwang.
		Hwang's integrity as a researcher was again put in doubt when it was revealed that "PD Su-cheop" scheduled a follow-up report questioning his achievement published in Science in June 2005, which stated he had cloned 11 lines of embryonic stem cells.

	Pharyngula::The deplorable Hwang Woo-Suk
		The case of Hwang Woo-Suk may ultimately be helpful if the message taken is that cheating at the science will be caught out, and the culprits will see their respect and reputation demolished.
		Hwang's university just issued a report removing any doubt he is a fraud, and he resigned from his research position.
		I mean, Hwang, looks like he's on the fast track to the professional equivalent of a firing squad....and his only crime was that he didn't play by the rules of science.

	Observer Disgrace
		Hwang's compatriots, though, are not yet ready to listen to words of solace from outsiders as they come to terms with the fall of someone they once called the Pride of Korea.
		Hwang's work had been the subject of breathless media coverage since February 2004, when he announced in Science that he had created the world's first cloned human embryo by transferring an adult cell's nucleus into an egg and extracting a cell line from it.
		Hwang's team, the panel said, had simply taken the eggs and split them into two test tubes, claiming one was real, the other cloned.

	The Korea Times : Scientist Expects Bush to Permit Therapeutic Human Cloning
		Hwang has been a staunch believer in therapeutic cloning, which would open the door for the treatment of many fatal diseases, but he has repeatedly articulated his clear-cut opposition to human cloning for reproductive purposes.
		Hwang gained worldwide attention last February when he successfully cloned a human embryo for the first time in history, but tentatively stopped his research in the face of growing ethical concerns.
		Hwang added that through talks with U.S. scientists, he found Bush had recognized many problems in his initial policies as well as the significance of stem cell research for use in therapy.

	Gypsy Scholar: Hwang Woo-suk's Accusation
		This is Hwang's explanation for why several stem-cell lines that he claimed to have developed using his own "efficient" technique have turned out to come from the MizMedi Hospital's samples of stem cells.
		Suppose that Hwang was certain that he was close to a breakthrough in developing a new, efficient technique for making patient-specific stem cells.
		Hwang would need only hope that no one would discover the deception and that he would develop an efficient technique quickly enough to create authentic patient-specific stem cells, thereby making everyone very happy.

	Dram Man: Analyzing Hwang's Patents
		Hwang has done work in human stem cell cloning since the early 90's.
		Perhaps KIPO, or rather the examiner, doubted Hwang's work applicability to human stem cells back then (this is supported by the fact that KIPO rejected a very simular patent for cloning a tiger in the same timeframe).
		However when considering what is coming out about Hwang's relationship with his current "Science Article" team, one has to wonder about his relationship with this group.

		The star scientist at the heart of that deception -- Hwang Woo Suk -- resigned Friday from his university post, his meteoric rise to fame coming to a wrenching end.
		The research journal Science, which published this year's headline-making paper by Hwang as well as a similarly historic stem cell study by Hwang in 2004, said Friday that it is continuing in its effort to get a full explanation from all the newer paper's authors -- a crucial step toward officially retracting the paper.
		Scientists and journal publishers are also reassessing the wisdom of allowing a researcher to append his or her name to a report as a "senior author" without having been an integral participant in the research.
