Abstract

The author discusses the Korean cloning scandal involving Woo-Suk Hwang, and looks at the general problems this case raises for scientific research. Six possible was of addressing these problems include developing better methods for education science students, independent monitoring and validation, developing guidelines for tissue donation for research and fostering a debate about ethically contentious research in science journals. The article also discusses the feasibility of the development of an international code of ethical research practice and the potential of fostering of public involvement in ethical review and debate through the web.
