Re-

Genes

◦ the basic physical and functional units of heredity

◦ are carried on chromosomes

◦ encode information

means the insertion into an organism of a normal gene which then corrects a genetic defect

in lower species: Drosophila melanogaster

in humans: hemoglobin abnormalities

bone marrow and skin cells

vectors: Retroviruses, Adenoviruses, Adeno-associated viruses, Herpes simplex viruses

To be up to date they have to

read news about treatments used in

THEYneed to be

Well-informed !!

or

The researches show that the third part of the population is living in conditions of poverty

Who will have access to this

expensive technology—

people in rich, developed

countries or people in poorer???

IF

In addition to genetic testing, which detects diseases, scientists are being

to develop therapies to treat diseases that have a genetic origin

Hair implants,

Crystalline implants,

Treatment of different organs, Rheumatoid Arthritis,

Cancer, Leukemia

But they can have numerous side effects: obesity, partial paralysis, death

It is difficult to solve the problems concerning this topic: science is trying to find the best ways to make therapies like these because

•not every part of the world is well-informed,

• people exaggerate with the technology, •doctors can introduce faulty genes

The attitude of people will change in the future, • information spread all around the world &• scientists try to find out all the benefits of these new therapy
