The answer for this is quiet controvesial as we ourself have given the uncureable diseases like cancer, aids, etc. which have become the dangerous of all now when we are finding the therapy or treatment against them we are looking for gene therapy also some of the disease like deformities which can be treated by gene therapy of fetous when it is sttill in mothers womb but we did not care from where it comes it is increasing due to our own habits of bad eating and drinking so i think it is may be our need but is due to some of our demands which causes this to come

A technique that involves putting a healthy copy of a gene into cells that have a defective copy of the same gene?
gene therapy.
What 'tools' are used in gene therapy?
Viral vectors are the tools used in gene therapy.
What does Gene therapy research use to alter defective hereditary material?
Researchers replace a mutated gene with a healthy copy of the gene. The healthy gene must first attach to a chromosome within a patient's cells. Then the gene needs to make the correct type and amount of protein. These techniques are still experimental at this time.

Explain what human gene therapy is?
If a person is lacking a gene that causes a disorder, for example diabetes, and a gene can be inserted into cells that require the gene, this would be gene therapy. Parkinson's disease and X-linked SCID are two that are be researched.
Which drug is manufactured as a result of indirect gene therapy?
Human insulin
Why has gene therapy been successful in curing human genetic diseases in the past?
It eliminates the undesired gene and replaces it with a unaffected gene

Is the goal of gene therapy to sequence the entire human genome?
The goal of gene therapy is to develop methods of treating and, ultimately, preventing genetic disorders (such as Huntingdon's) by examining certain genetic markers. Human genome sequencing is an aid to this as it allows a greater understanding of gene interation.
Why do you need gene therapy?
gene therapy is when a faulty gene is repaired or replaced
