Hwang Influence Politicians With Slush Fund Donations

Woo-suk Hwang apparently used some public money given to his lab for research, to influence politicians. Thank goodness nothing like that would ever happen here. In the USA, science is merely an objective search for knowledge. It’s not as if the Science Establishment has mutated the pursuit of scientific knowledge into a special interest that assumes the right to receive ever-increasing levels of public funding and works assiduously to lobby and influence our public officials or anything.
