Since scientists first began manipulating genes, they have been envisioning a brave new world in which diseases from Huntington's chorea to sickle-cell anemia to possibly diabetes could be cured simply by inserting the correct strip of DNA into the body's cells. So far, though, most of the genetic tinkering has been limited to transplanting genes into isolated cells in laboratory dishes or into bacteria...
Researchers also speculate that doctors might use the technique to correct blood diseases that result from defects in single genes, including sickle-cell anemia and thalassemia. The therapeutic gene could be transferred into bone marrow cells along with a gene for drug resistance. Exposure to the drug would kill off marrow that produces defective blood cells and allow a population of "cured" cells to take over...
