(LC) https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bgenetherapy/wish/122880360 Genetic Therapy is when specific DNA is inserted into the body to fix a mutated gene that is causing a disease. ]]> 2016-09-09 20:13:51 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bgenetherapy/wish/122880360 Laws and Regulations in Gene Therapy (ER) https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bgenetherapy/wish/122880925 It states why there is a need for creating laws that will regulate gene therapy; assuming that gene therapy becomes available to consumers.

This is not able to be passed down to the next generations.
Germ line gene therapy: makes changes in the sperm or eggs. The changes made will the continue to pass down to further generations. ]]> 2016-09-09 20:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bgenetherapy/wish/122882426 Pros and Cons of Gene Therapy in Humans (JV) https://padlet.com/greenenglish/7Bgenetherapy/wish/122883434 Pros
