How could human genetic therapy cure genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis?

Cystic fibrosis is caused by a missing gene. One hope for cure is that the missing gene could be inserted into a weakened or inactive cold virus. The patient would then be infected with the inactive virus. The viral rna containing the missing gene would be injected into the defective cells by the virus. The missing gene would then be present and the disease would theoretically be cured.

2) Get spayed or neutered.
3) Become homosexual (it's much less boring than chastity IMHO).
4) Explore the sublime pleasures of Eugenics.
5) Anything that causes unnatural death (war, serial killings, pesticides and chemical pollutants, addictive drugs, improper human waste disposal, overconsumption, deforestation... use your imagination!) or creates infertility (Gossypol derivatives, anyone?)
Or possibly by genetic manipulation and/or selective breeding.
