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.
