这篇论文的重点是臭名昭著的黄禹锡，韩国的民族英雄和曾经著名的干细胞研究的先驱。在简要讨论了他在《科学》杂志上发表的论文和研究丑闻的演变之后，我将试图概述当代生物科学中研究不端行为问题在科学和生物伦理话语中出现的主要反应。他的研究中有哪些道德上的失误？发现了什么样的科研不端行为？这种不端行为如何影响科学诚信？如何避免呢？围绕这些问题，本文将黄禹锡的案例解释为一个案例研究，可能揭示高风险的全球科学的最坏的方面。这起案件提出了一系列可能危及科学诚信和公众信任的问题。科学界往往认为，监管监督、道德要求和体制保障措施只会减缓科学进步，并造成治疗应用的延误。黄禹锡的案例代表了当代科学的进步是如何不受阻碍的。因此，这个案例可能会揭示出“科学的社会控制”的好处。
This paper focuses on the infamous case of Hwang Woo Suk, the South-Korean national hero and once celebrated pioneer of stem cell research. After briefly discussing the evolution of his publication and research scandal in Science, I will attempt to outline the main reactions that emerged within scientific and bioethical discourses on the problem of research misconduct in contemporary biosciences. What were the ethical lapses in his research? What kind of research misconduct has been identified? How this kind of misconduct affects scientific integrity? How to avoid it? Focusing on these questions, the paper interprets the Hwang's case as a case study that might shed light on the worst aspects of highstakes global science. This case presents a group of problems that might endanger scientific integrity and public trust. Regulatory oversight, ethical requirements and institutional safeguards are often viewed by the scientific community as merely decelerating scientific progress and causing delays in the application of treatments. The Hwang's case represents how unimpeded progress works in contemporary science. Thus, the case might shed light on the often neglected benefits of "the social control of science".
