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

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.
What is gene therapy?
Gene therapy is a method of treatment. It is specifically used to treat patients who are suffering from diseases due to defective genes. Essentially, the treatment involves researchers replacing the defective or faulty genes with a normal functioning gene. It involves: 1) Detection of gene 2)Determination & its role 3)Isolation & cloning 4)Introducing the gene by proper way. This is either germline gene therapy (done in germ cells) or somatic gene therapy (done in somatic cells).
Is cystic fibrosis a candidate good for gene therapy?
Yes, cystic fibrosis is a candidate for gene therapy. Gene therapy offers the potential to correct the underlying genetic cause of the disease, which is a mutation in the CFTR gene. While there have been some promising developments in gene therapy for cystic fibrosis, further research and clinical trials are needed to fully assess its effectiveness.

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.
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.
What is an application of the human genome project that involves the insertion of normal genes int o cells with defective genes in an attemp to correcy genetic disorders?
Gene Therapy
Difference between gene therapy and protein therapy?
at the gene level gene therapy is done and at the the protein level protein therapy is done
Should people be allowed to use gene therapy to enhance basic human traits such as height intelligence or athletic ability?
Gene therapy for the purposes of enhancements in basic human traits does raise some moral dilemmas. The problem is deciding what is "normal" and what is not.
