Aide resigns in South Korean stem cell research scandal

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun is expected to accept the resignation of an aide over the scandal surrounding disgraced stem cell scientist Hwang Woo-suk.

Park Ky-young, Roh’s aide for science and technology affairs, has offered to step down after a university report found that Hwang’s breakthrough research into human stem cell cloning was faked.
