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.

Humanity has lived for more than thousands of years. It is an applicable reason for us to evolve due to the changing times. We have advanced to the point where we cannot support our brilliance anymore, and that is where technology came in. Technology is called in different ways; some say it is the product of our intelligence or the product of our growing dependency, but we all know that it is neither. We created it to make tasks and works a lot more easier, particularly those difficult ones, and it changed the way we live our lives significantly. We have witnessed its impressive evolution in the past few decades, which has in turn transformed our understanding of our own planet and the vast cosmos. Therefore, we are now inseparable from technology; it is only up to us now whether to use it to its fullest content or just continue to evolve around it. On the contrary, we have become life and death itself.
