In 1990, scientists at the National Institutes of Health used gene therapy to try to treat a 4-year-old girl suffering from severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID). This genetic disease made her extremely susceptible to infections. The scientists used a virus to inject normal genes into the girl's immune system cells. The experiment was moderately successful, and the girl's health improved but only for short periods of time. If this form of gene therapy could be fine-tuned, how would it impact society?
