Gene therapy is a technique that uses genes to treat or prevent diseases. It is the process of taking DNA from one organism and inserting it into another. No development in biotechnology has inspired both more fear and hope in human society than gene therapy. This is the big question of the people. While these new advances in gene therapy raise new hopes for curing life-threatening diseases or helping amputees or physically disabled people lead lives like a normal human being, they also raise questions about morality as well as harmful effects. that they could cause in the future. Company. In our media-intensive society, thousands of newspapers and magazines, as well as television talk shows, resonate with different views on the morality of gene therapy. Supporters of this medical treatment say it promises enormous benefits for medicine as well as agriculture and industry. Yet it has caused considerable public concern because it is seen by many as an unpredictable technology. The main ethical controversy concerns whether to modify the natural human genetic structure. Many researchers have successfully cured genetic and non-genetic diseases by modifying the individual's somatic cells. This has been accepted as good practice. The main reason is that only the individual in question receives the altered somatic cells but these will not be passed on to their offspring. This therefore does not change the original genetic structure of this individual. Public debate over the ethics of using gene therapy began after research into recombinant DNA technology began in 1960. Many believed that somatic cell gene therapy was merely an extension of conventional therapies posing few ethical problems. Some gene therapies introduce the new...... middle of article......
