During the last several years, we have witnessed "the best of times and the worst of times" in the embryonic field of gene therapy. Rapid advances in human genomic sciences, the development of novel mouse models of human diseases, and the construction and characterization of new vector systems for in vivo gene transduction have significantly expanded the potential feasibility of human gene therapy. On the other hand, the tragic events surrounding the gene therapy-related death of Jessie Gelsinger and subsequent revelations about additional unreported gene therapy-related complications have seriously damaged both the scientific credibility and public confidence in gene therapy. Given these recent events, this would seem to be an opportune time to pause and carefully reassess where we are and, more importantly, where we should be going in this promising but controversial field.
Gene TherapyGenetic disorders are caused by an abnormality in person's DNA.
gene therapy is when a faulty gene is repaired or replaced
The main goal of the Genetherapy is to correct the defective genes. There are 4 types of gene therapy .they are1. Somatic Gene therapy and another is 2.Germ line gene therapy 3.Enhancement genetic engineering4. Eugenic genetic engineering.
In cystic fibrosis there is an inherited gene that you have that is causing it, so if gene therapy is used, you can replace the gene with the effected one

How can "good" and "bad" uses of gene therapy be distinguished?Who decides which traits are normal and which constitute a disability or disorder?Will the high costs of gene therapy make it available only to the wealthy?Could the widespread use of gene therapy make society less accepting of people who are different?Should people be allowed to use gene therapy to enhance basic human traits such as height, intelligence, or athletic ability?

With the help of Gene therapy we can replace or supress the cancer gene
in 1989 us approve gene therapy exprement on human
Viral vectors are the tools used in gene therapy.
Gene therapy effects children by helping to cure disease and to lengthen lives. Gene therapy can also be used to eliminate diseases that are inherited.
