Chapter 8: Final thoughts and personal perspective

Chapter 8: Final thoughts and personal perspective
            While doing my research about gene therapy, I realized that the benefits of this technology can be very huge in preventing countless number of diseases. However, ethical issues that arises from gene therapy and the fear of using this technology for genetic enhancement  participated somehow in abandon the use of it. Personally, I think that the benefits of using gene therapy can in some cases outweigh the ethical concerns.  Furthermore, I believe that strict government regulation of the use of gene therapy can solve the fears of using it in the wrong way. For these reasons, I think that we should encourage the use of gene therapy and continue on discovering how to treat more diseases using gene therapy approach.  
         
   Finally, I would like to thank you all for the time you spend reading my blog. I hope I provided you with all information you would like to know about gene therapy.

    Thank you for all the information you provided on gene therapy. I now understand how it works, and I am hopeful that we can use it to cure some of the most deadly diseases we face while avoiding abuse of the technology for vain purposes.
