Disgraced Hwang Loses All Official Titles

Disgraced professor Hwang Woo-suk will lose all of his government titles, including the inaugural honor of "top scientist."

The Board of Audit and Inspection will also look into research funds his research team received and the Health and Welfare Ministry will handle the alleged ethics violations committed in the process of obtaining ova.

The government will also consult with think tanks and other science institutions to verify science papers and establish an ova donation system with a stronger defense against bioethical violations.

State support, however, will continue for the cutting-edge technology that produced blastocysts and the world's cloned dog Snuppy.

Financial aid for stem cell studies will also continue and a comprehensive plan on state research support will come before June.
