For example, during the reprogramming process, some tumor suppressor genes may be deleted, and this may affect the iPSCs' abilities to differentiate, proliferate and develop, and may cause tumorigenicity. [22] Thus, the ethical and moral aspect of these treatments is still being discussed, and it is generally accepted that the requirements for proof of principle and safety should be higher, particularly if the cells have been manipulated extensively in vitro or have been derived from pluripotent stem cells.
