In 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a persons own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwangs group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?

A study on the effects of a new drug tamoxifen has stopped more than a year early because of dramatic findings.

Dr Richard Klausher , director of the institute said only through continued research will we find drugs which are effective and with fewer side effects. It is said that women who were taking 'dummy' will be given a chance to take tamoxifen instead. 1. Write in your own words why you think the study was stopped early. 2.
