Skorea to lift ban on human stem cell research
South Korea will lift a three-year ban on human stem cell research, a presidential advisory committee announced Wednesday.The government outlawed research in 2006 following a scandal involving disgraced cloning expert Hwang Woo-suk, who claimed to have created stem cells from cloned human embryos.
South Korea on Wednesday conditionally lifted a ban on stem cell research using human eggs, three years after outlawing the practice because a scientist was found to have faked his work.
