Genetic Therapy is the Latest Game for
Sports Cheats
Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, IN, July
9-Genetic technology, which already has altered our food supply,
will soon be used to enhance our muscles and bodies, scientists
say. Gene therapy can help rehabilitate patients suffering from
muscle-wasting disease such as muscular dystrophy and improve
muscle function for the elderly. Although there are many benefits
to gene therapy, some fear that it has the potential to be abused,
especially by athletes that are looking for ways to increase
their performance. (Quote by Theodore Friedmann,
director of the Program in Human Gene Therapy at the University
of California, San Diego.)
