이 글은 황우석 사태에 대한 기존의 연구들이 황우석 사태에 대한 정의도 뚜렷이 내리지 않고 그 용어를 쓰고 있으며, 아울러 황우석 사태를 대체로 한국적 후진성을 반영하는 현상으로 묘사하는 것은 나름대로 수긍할만한 측면이 없는 것은 아니지만, 황우석 사태를 올바로 이해하는 데 있어 걸림돌이 될 수 있다는 문제의식에서 출발하였다. 황우석 사태는 여성들의 난자들에 대한 비윤리적 사용 의혹에서 비롯되어 논문조작 의혹이 제기되고 그 의혹들이 맞는 것으로 밝혀지는 일련의 과학적 부정행위 규명과, 그 과정에서 논문조작이 밝혀졌음에도 불구하고 대중들이 보여준 황우석에 대한 비이성적 지지 현상 모두를 의미하는 것으로 이해되어야 한다. 황우석 사태를 이렇게 정의할 때, 우리는 황우석 사태가 세계적으로 볼 때 보편적 성격과 특수적 성격 모두를 지니고 있다고 평가할 수 있다. 한편으로 논문조작에 초점을 두고 황우석 사태를 보면 황우석 사태는 한국만의 현상이 아니라 세계사적 보편성을 지니고 있다고 할 수 있는데, 그 구조적 원인으로는 과학자간 경쟁의 격화와 업적주의의 강화를 들 수 있다. 다른 한편으로 논문조작이 밝혀졌음에도 불구하고 황우석에 대한 대중들의 열광적인 지지가 지속되었던 점에 초점을 두고 황우석 사태를 보면 황우석 사태는 다른 나라들에서는 그 유례를 찾을 수 없는 한국적 현상이라고 할 수 있는데, 그 현상의 근원에는 대체로 한국인들이 지니고 있는 한의 정서가 자리 잡고 있다고 할 수 있다.

Could STS throw another-colored light on the Hwang's Affair, the scientific fraud committed by Hwang Woo-Suk and his research team in Korea? And could analytic tools of STS unfold another meanings which have been overlooked in most of the traditionally social-sciences-oriented analyses? In this essay, I try to answer these questions by analyzing the Hwang's Affair in the view of STS, especially by using some concepts of actor-network theory(ANT): movement, translation and displacement. I want to say that the Hwang's Affair seems to be a part of normal scientific activity, not an abnormal phenomenon, and as an evidence, focus on the similarities of their life styles between "pure/real scientist" Louis Pasteur and "impure/political scientist" Hwang Woo-Suk. I try to mobilize some concepts of ANT, especially movement, and find out why scientists came to move toward the opposed direction on the pure/real-impure/political line. I suggest that there exists "laboratory politics" as the key factor in this bifurcation. My tentative conclusion is that Pasteur can take a position to make his great world, so-called the Pasteurian world, owing to the success of "double movement" in which he treated his laboratory as a fulcrum to lift up the world, but Hwang degrades himself to "ugly scientific politician" due to the loss of the momentum of his movement; Hwang treated his laboratory only as the symbolic resources and in turn failed to solidify material entities, his real political resources, even though he knew the importance of laboratory.

세계에서 5번째로 체세포로 동물 복제에 성공, 젖소 영롱이를 탄생시킨 서울대 수의과대 황우석교수는 "어려운 여건 속에서도 연구가 결실을 거둠으로써 축산농민들에게 희망을 안겨주게되어 보람을 느낀다"고 말했다. 황교수는 "기존 복제술에다 핵이식 전 세포의 전염병과 기형검사를 추가해서 유산을 미리 막고 성공률도 높였다"고 자신의 복제방법을 설명했다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of a respectful scientist from the perspective of the science gifted students and their recognition on the event of Dr. Hwang, Woo Seok and its effects on their future goal decision. The participants of this study are 19(11 males, 8 females) second grade of junior high school students, chemistry department of S Science-gifted Education Center, and 44(32 males, 12 females) first and second grade of J Science high school students. The questionnaire was developed and both quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. The result showed the characteristics of a scientist the students respect were varied by school level and the sex. For the event of Dr. Hwang, Woo Seok, 47.6% students recognized that he must be banished from the science field and 36.5% students showed sympathy for Dr. Hwang, Woo Seok. It was said that most science gifted students realized the importance of honesty through this event. Most science gifted students were recognized the necessity of moral education in science gifted education.

This study analyzed the characteristics of the politics of technoscience and governance in South Korea, taking advantage of the policy changes on the stem cell research after Hwang's affair. In spite of generally accepted conventional wisdom that stem cell research had been suffering 'crisis' after the Hwang's affair, South Korea succeeded in developing the first and the largest stem cell product in the world. However, considering the fact that the stem cell research capabilities and technological competitiveness of Korea have been assessed as relatively low compared to the development performance, there is a need to extrapolate how such result could be achieved. To answer these questions, we analyzed changes in the R&D expenditure before and after the scandal and verified the 'crisis of stem cell research' following the reduction of financial support from government. From the analysis of literature on the policy reports and news, we described the process of discourse changes in policy and analyzed the characteristics of the politics of technoscience and governance of stem cell research. This study emphasized that the government R&D and regulation policy play the key roles in the development of stem cell research rather than in the technological competitiveness in South Korea. Furthermore, this study argued that democratic governance still does not work under the policy conditions that technocratic decision-making of stem cell research fails to learn from the Hwang's affairs.

We are all too aware of the ravages of scientific misconduct in the Korean academic community. Plagiarism and fabricated research have become an important issue after many figures such scientist Hwang Woo-suk, former Education Minister Kim Beong-joon and former Korea University President Lee Phil-sang were involved in research ethics scandals. Recent case of falsified data is the instance of Seoul University investigator Hwnag Woo-suk admittted full responsibility for the fabrication and use of false data in a paper published in 2005. Another important lessons learned by Hwang case were that the need of international accepted standards about research misconduct, the matter of authorship, proper allocation of credit, respect for human subjects in scientific research and conflict of interests. And Education Minister Kim Byong-joon have drawn the attention of the general public to the issue of self-plagiarism. Important lessons learned by Kim case were that the need of clear criteria on what is considered plagiarism and historical application. Most recently, Korea University president Lee Phil-sang plagiarized his pupils' academic work. Important lessons learned by Lee case were that the need of after penalty about research misconduct, research mentoring, and desirable whistleblowing. And I suggested three major lessons learned by synthesized review. The fist is the need of public system and institution, the second is the role of media, and the third is the need and direction of research ethics education. The government, universities and research centers are aware of the matters and lessons learned about reseach ethics of Hwang, Kim and Lee cases. And they suggest to set up education programs, guidelines and institutional measures for research ethics.
