Gene Therapy

There is no doubt about how much Medicine has improved. Back in the day if you had a disease, the odds of recovering were low; you were not supposed to make it. Then doctors worked very hard and knew how to deal/treat diseases, so people lived a bit longer.

Nowadays  if any part of your body hurts, you just pop a pill and the pain is gone or go see a doctor; if an organ is not working how it is suppose to work they can replace it (just sit and wait for a donor). What I'm trying to say is that there are few things that Modern Medicne cannot cure.

 A new treatment aims to corrects errors in a person's  genetic code. Quite impresive, right? But it is not as migical as it seems to be. This will cure a strange condition that some people have to digest fats.

This is the first step to modify human's genetics and will unleash a great discussion. If this goes farther and farther, would you be able use this "human improvement" and make your your blood-line will be better?
