Gene therapy is a technique that uses genes to treat or prevent disease. It is the process of taking DNA from one organism and inserting it into another. No development in biotechnology has inspired more fear and hope in human society than gene therapy. Here is the big question among people. While this new advance in gene therapy raises new hopes for curing life-threatening diseases or helping amputees or physically disabled people lead lives like normal humans, it also raises questions about morality and the negative effects that could cause in the future. society. In our media-intensive society, thousands of newspapers and magazines, television talk shows resonate with different views on the morality of gene therapy. Supporters of this medical treatment claim that it promises enormous benefits for both medicine and agriculture and industry. However, it has caused considerable public concern because it is perceived by many as an unpredictable technology. The main ethical controversy concerns the appropriateness of altering natural human genetic structure. Many researchers have been able to cure both genetic and non-genetic diseases by altering an individual's somatic cells. It 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 his offspring. So it doesn't change the original genetic structure of that individual. Public debate about the ethics of using gene therapy began after research into recombinant DNA technology began in the 1960s. Many believed that somatic cell gene therapy was simply an extension of conventional therapies that posed few ethical problems . Some gene therapies introduce nine...... half of paper ......
