Human Gene Therapy
Human Genome Project is the "project" that was the making of a genetic map of ALL the human DNA.
How does it help?
Now that we know what each gene is and where it is , we can find the harmful gene that needs to be treated with gene therapy
Gene therapy is the addition of new genes to a patient's cells to replace missing or malfunctioning genes. Researchers typically do this using a virus to carry the genetic cargo into cells, because that's what viruses evolved to do with their own genetic material
All tho this sound good some people dont like the fact that the doctors are using embryos which can become babies and some people feel as tho we are killing babies
