The Aspects of Gene Therapy

This is yet another futuristic one, but it is far from impossible. Gene therapy is a cutting-edge medical intervention, a breakthrough in manipulating genes that could even cure various genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, or 'cys', muscular dystrophy, and even cancer, which is a matter that researchers still have so much to learn. However, this light of endearing hope of freedom from these intricate diseases also raises potent concerns. Such as its availability, since we all know that this act of 'playing god' should take a great price, it potentially creates disparities based on socio-economic factors. The other thing is its public perception, whereas the perception of altering genes is critical since such an act of modifying one's body is something that people believe only 'gods' could do, hence creating misunderstandings and potential societal dilemmas. To sum the topic up, this advancement in the field of medical innovation sure has the transformative potential to change how we live our lives in the future; however, it also comes with a complex web of ethical, social, and regulatory concerns, so it must be held with a multidisciplinary approach that should include perspectives that will be essential to harnessing it for good.
