This study examines the ways in which the meanings of waste, body, and national development are (re)framed in ethicalizing the use of ‘leftover’ embryos and ova for biological research. Although bioethics laws have been reformed since the Hwang scandal, it was too easily reduced to the discourse of ‘informed consent,’ and the use of ‘leftover’ ova and embryos produced in fertility clinics as an alternative, while the current structures deeply related to the Hwang scandal still remain. The ‘leftover’ is not a simple and easy source for research, but is always contested, as it embodies the power politics of having stem cell research embedded in fertility clinics, and the many contested meanings of the human body, nationalism and reproduction. The meaning of ‘leftover’ often erases women’s risks and the labor involved in infertility treatment, as well as other costs, such as huge amounts of fund for stem cell research while the public health system is lacking in its budget. This study questions the dominant understanding of science and the body in terms of economy and efficiency.
