What is the hope that induced pluripotent stem cells provide? Choose as many as apply. Patients would not have to wait for an organ/tissue donation. The use of these cells would lower the chance of rejection of the organ/tissue. A doctor could produce an organ or tissue from a patient's own stem cells.

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?
