Science News Article | Reuters.co.uk: "SEOUL (Reuters) - The Bush administration's reluctance to fully support stem cell research is impeding U.S. research that has the potential to make major medical breakthroughs, South Korea's top cloning expert said on Sunday.
Woo-Suk Hwang, the head of a team of South Korean scientists who cloned the first human embryo to use for research said in an interview with Reuters that stem cell science will advance because of its enormous potential, and will not be halted by political interests.
'The scientific effort to resolve the pain of patients with incurable conditions is very honorable, and I believe no mere individual politician or party can stop the historic trend,' Hwang said at his laboratory at Seoul National University.
'Solving these problems is a common responsibility of humanity,' he said."
