The Ethics of Molecular Medicine; Further Reading; GlossaryScience and medicine have provided us with clues to the treatment of a few genetic diseases, although by their very nature they have never been considered curable. But, as William R. Clark shows, that is about to change through one of the most profound revolutions in modern medicine: gene therapy, a branch of the new field of molecular medicine. Clark takes us to the laboratories which have been able to isolate human genes, to make billions of copies of them, and to reintroduce healthy genes into unfortunate individuals who have inherited damaged or functionless genes.Gene therapyPopular worksGene therapy616/.042Clark William R.1938-262163MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780614103321The new healers3681151UNINA
