Hypothesis: the practise of gene therapy can be considered a safe and successful method in treating a patient’s genetic disorder.
Evaluation of sources:
Source 1- this source is just a simple introduction into gene therapy. The source states how gene therapy is done which is by inserting a gene into a specific area of the patient’s cells as well as different methods of tis experimental technique such as replacing or introducing a specific gene to help treat the disease. The source also states that gene therapy is still a risky procedure and has not been fully studied; however it is a viable option for many diseases that are seen as incurable.
This source helps back up my hypothesis by stating that gene therapy is a viable option to treat disorders however it does state that at the moment it is not fully state which I could use as a counter argument. …show more content…
It also discusses gene therapy like source 1 by the method of swapping, repairing or altering a gene.
This source helps identify the method and viability of gene therapy at the same time mentioning that gene therapy is still experimental and not a firm healing method.
Source 3- source 3 identifies all the successes of gene therapy. It starts by discussing once again that gene therapy has been studied as a viable treatment method for patients with diseases. Even though it has taken time for gene therapy to reach patients it is effectiveness in the future is very encouraging the on-going research of gene therapy have found ways of making gene therapy a safe method. The source then goes on to mention the success stories of gene therapy.
Immune deficiencies- multiple immune deficiencies have been successful practices of gene therapy. This is most common in treating blood stem cells and retroviruses. The cells are removed and treated outside the humans body and then sent back into attack only the defected
