    Although the retrovirus use bothers me a bit, overall the accomplishment is pretty damn cool.

    Peace.

    Any ideas on how gene theropy works?

    Do you or could you drop a pill?

    Is something injected into the body?

    Does the process attack and change part of our DNA?

    Genetic treatments actually saving lives is his worst nightmare, because he knows people won't reject genetic engineering with the benefits staring them in the face in the form of a cute little kid.
