Gene Therapy: The Process of Transferring DNA in to a Drug as Treatment

Do you believe in sending your child to military school to fight foreign aliens? In the book Ender’s Game that is exactly what happens. There was a movie and a book Ender’s Game. The book, Ender’s Game is the first book in the series, the Ender Quintet Series and the movie was made in 2013. The book of Ender’s Game was similar from the movie Ender’s Game, but there sufficient amount of differences between the two.

In “To Kill a Mockingbird”, in the 1930’s there was a small town in Alabama called Maycomb which was a very quiet and peaceful place but one day all that would change. “Is Mayella Powerful?” The endeavor for power in the story consists of race, class, and gender. For one thing Mayella Ewell is white and she is going against an African American, Tom Robinson, in court which gives her an advantage in the trial. Even though Mayella won the trial against Tom, she still has to go back to her trashy home to her abusive father. In addition Mayella knew she was going to win against Tom since she had an advantage over him. In the story “To Kill a Mockingbird”, Mayella is somewhat powerful.

Similarly to the effects of Buddhism on the Kushan Empire, the Byzantine Empire produced an era focused greatly on materialism, but with a desire for purple dye and fine silks rather than the seven treasures that the Buddhists favored as described in The Amitabha Sutra: “gold, silver, beryl, crystal, red pearls, diamonds, and corals” (p. 95). Buddhist monks had previously valued the simplicity and minimalism, but resorted to the materialistic view that would attract Buddhist converts and produced the Mahayana school. As a result, trade increased and the arrival of treasures from outside of the Kushan Empire to pay tribute to the bodhisattvas increased. In contrast, the Byzantine empire became more constricted under the ideals that silk and

Due to the recent upheaval of violent crimes on campus, many pro-gun activist have suggested that both the students and teachers should be allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus. Those for this may claim that their rights have been violated because many college campuses refuse to allow weapons of any kind on campus. It is not the right to carry a gun which is in debate here, but rather it is whether or not guns should be allowed on a college campus. The Constitution of The United States of America already grants citizens the right to carry guns, and being in the south, I am by far no stranger to seeing a gun from time-to-time, but it is not appropriate for guns to be in a vulnerable area such as a college campus. There are already too many guns available to the public, and allowing them on an educational facility would greatly increase the likelihood of injury or death. Americans, as previously mentioned, have the right to bear arms, and this should be held sacred, and not infringed, taken away, or limited. However, stricter firearm control should be implemented for those who chose to carry a concealed weapon, and gun control should be done by having stricter certification processes before a firearm or gun permit is issued, intensive psychological evaluation for the person or persons applying for a gun permit or a gun,and greater educational requirements for gun owners and firearm safety.

Gene therapy, in a nutshell, is the use of genetic information from genes in the treatment and prevention of diseases to modify the phenotype of cells. According to Maria P. Limberis of the University of Pennsylvania, “prior to the publication of the DNA structure by Dr. James D. Watson and Dr. Francis Crick, Dr Clyde E. Keeler predicted in 1947 that gene therapy would be ‘a therapeutic technique’, ‘achieving permanent correction of hereditary diseases’. Delivery and expression of a therapeutic gene in an affected tissue or organ holds great promise for the treatment of various life-threatening acquired and inherited diseases that affect humans”[21].

Human gene therapy is when genetic material is introduced into human cells to treat a genetic disease. Instead of traditionally treating the symptoms, gene therapy aims to treat the disease’s root cause by directly altering genes and correcting defects. Therefore, gene therapy is only viable for certain diseases. Disorders from mutations in single genes are the most treatable, whereas disorders that involve many genes and environmental factors are trickier.

Gene therapy could cure many genetic disorders, such as Cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder with no cure that causes excess mucus in lungs, digestive tract, liver, and increases susceptibility to infections. In the case that a couple is likely to birth a child with cystic fibrosis, most specialists recommend against the couple having children, as cystic fibrosis can greatly shorten the child’s lifespan. One such case would be a scenario such as this: A couple has

Gene therapy is an experimental treatment, which is used to replace mutated, improperly functioning genes with regular DNA. There are several gene therapy methods, most of which involve using a vector to transport the corrected gene into targeted cells. Retro viruses, adeno viruses, adeno ascosciated viruses and liposomes are commonly used as

Gene therapy is an experimental technique that allows doctors to insert a gene into a patient’s cell rather than using drugs or surgery. Gene therapy is a process of which defective or undesired genes in the body with “normal” genes. A vector is re-engineered to deliver the gene to a target cell. Then the gene is transferred to the cell’s nucleus and must be activated in order to function. The main focus of gene therapy is to replace a lost or improper gene with a new functional copy into a vector that is inserted into the subject’s genome by way of penetrating its DNA. Gene therapy can be done outside of the body known as ex vivo by way of taking cells form patients bone marrow or blood and then growing them

Moreover, Positive aspects of gene therapy are apparent as it can give many peoples a new life. It can reduce the stress on future parents as they do not have to think or worry about having a child with disabilities they can have a normal child because gene therapy can wipe out genetic disease before they can begin and eliminate suffering for future generations; it is also good technique for diseases that are not searched yet because each of us caries about half a dozen defective genes, however we remain ignorant to this fact unless we are among the millions of people who have a genetic disorder; about one in ten people has or will develop some time later in life an inherited genetic abnormality. It and can also silence a gene in the case

In the modern world humans have been able to design and create nearly anything, most to aid us in our daily lives and improve our standard of living. It is only inevitable that eventually humans would take our superior knowledge and skill to manipulate life itself and change our genome to produce a healthier and even more superior human standard of life. In recent years discussion about gene therapy has changed into a promising possibility to treat many of our common human diseases and disorders. Although gene therapy might be the answer to many problems, it has been met with a number of logistical and ethical hardships. With the prospect of being a treatment for inherited genetic disorders, cancers, and viral infections, gene

Gene Therapy sounds very appealing, a quick fix that could solve all our problems but is isn’t so, many disorders can potentially be treated by gene therapy, but for others this approach wouldn’t work at all, the illness must fall under to make it suitable for a treatment of this nature.

Gene therapy being a biological therapy is still a work in progress and in its early stages of research. There is much more to accomplish, but these accomplishments make the future more optimistic in treating and preventing diseases.

Through gene therapy, by adding a healthy copy of a gene to cells that have malfunctioning or broken genes, it can help diseased cells to start working properly once more.

Gene therapy is the procedure that uses genes as the agent to avert or treat diseases.
