RE: DNA TECHNOLOGY: Gene Therapy and Cystic Fibrosis

in #steemstem5 years ago

It's a wonderful article and stands well on its own...in the eyes of this lay reader. I was impressed by your discussion of the ethical considerations and also by the backstory you provide about Celera and HGP.

I have a rudimentary understanding of genetics--derived from a college bio course and casual reading. However, I was able to understand everything in your piece. I also appreciate how you explain the difficulty in CF with mucous and repeated infections. I didn't realize that the mucous also affects the pancreas.

All in all, an enlightening article (for me). Thank you!
