Hey why not. Sounds like a great idea, but if it fucks up peoples genetics then no. But if people are willing to let scientists fuck around with their DNA and shit all the power to them.

Gene therapy has the potential to revolutionize modern medicine. Unfortunately, it will probably end up going the way of nuclear power, because there are too many people that believe everything they see in movies. Stand up and learn the facts for yourself. Don't live your life through the filter of Hollywood.

If it works, fantastic. Gene therapy is also being researched for certain cancer treatments as well.

Gene therapy can do a lot more than just this. It has many other applications. Problem is, it isn't simple.
