Inserting working copies of a gene directly into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder is called what?
That process is called gene therapy. It involves inserting functional copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder to correct the genetic mutation causing the disorder.

How does the gene therapy work?
Precisely, gene therapy is applied under two strategies; 1. Therapeutic gene strategy 2. Gene therapy for replacing a mutated gene Therapeutic gene strategy involves the insertion/administration of DNA that encodes a therapeutic protein packaged within a "vector", into the body. Inside the body, the DNA becomes expressed by the cell machinery, resulting in the production of therapeutic protein, which in turn treats the patient's disease. Gene therapy for replacing a mutated gene involves the insertion of a functional gene (cloned into a vector) and administered into the body, where the functional gene express to neutralize the mutational effect.

How is genetic therapy used to treat genetic disorders?
Gene therapy is a method that aims to cure inherited diseases by providing the patient with correct copy of the defective gene. There are four potential approaches to gene therapy:1)Addition of normal gene to replace the function of defective gene. This is gene replacement orgene augmentation therapy.2)Replacing the defective gene with the correct gene. This isCorrective gene therapy.3)Establishment of alternative pathways that bypass mutant genes function4)Change in regulation of normal or mutant genesThe first two are the basic approaches in gene therapy
