The doctor’s actions go against many principles in the scientific community, according to Stanford bioethicist David Magnus, who said: “Science depends upon the honesty of the people who submit articles. The whole system would come crashing down without it.”

Maybe science should also begin to concern itself with morality.

In a shocking breach of medical ethics, the leading stem-cell and cloning researcher in South Korea admitted last week that he used eggs donated by subordinates in his work.

No kidding. Because people like this are scum to the core. I'm about as suprised to hear about ehtical violations by a cloner/embryonic stem cell researcher as I am from an abortionist.

Some areas of science are definitely not concerned with ethics or morality, or more likely have built their own modern codes that are more convenient for them.

Is is possible that a man of science is a corrupt jerk? I thought a commitment to science somehow make you holier than other human beings...?

This is a pure evil misdirection ploy ... the unethical was conceiving embryo-aged humans in order to rip out their body parts (their stem cells), not the 'unethical' acquiring of donor ova.
