−	The Columbia '''"Miracle" study''' scandal concerns the results of a study by Daniel Wirth, Kwang Cha, M.D., and Rogerio Lobo, M.D., published in the ''Journal of Reproductive Medicine'' in 2001, which suggested that in-vitro fertilization was twice as likely to result in pregnancy if patients were prayed for. The results of the study are allegedly fraudulent. There were also serious ethical issues with the study; subjects were not not made aware of their participation violating the ethical principle of informed consent. Since the study was published, Wirth has been imprisoned on unrelated charges of fraud, Cha has been accused of plagiarism, and Lobo has removed his name from the study. As of 2013 the ''Journal of Reproductive Medicine'' has not retracted the study and it is still being regularly cited by other researchers.	+	The Columbia '''"Miracle" study''' scandal concerns the results of a study by Daniel Wirth, Kwang Cha, M.D., and Rogerio Lobo, M.D., published in the ''Journal of Reproductive Medicine'' in 2001, which suggested that in-vitro fertilization was twice as likely to result in pregnancy if patients were prayed for.
