 AB    A major technological revolution is on the horizon that promises cures
       for inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia,
       muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, leukocyte-adhesion deficiency, and
       Gaucher's disease. This revolutionary technology also promises effective
       treatments for acquired diseases such as cancer and AIDS. The technique
       is gene therapy and it has already been used in humans. Some
       applications raise ethical considerations that not only affect the
       individual who is treated but have implications for future generations
       as well.
