1,030 words (approx. 4.1 pages) | 0 sources | APA | 2001 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper summarizes Thomas Lee's description of the four different types of gene therapy as a springboard to discussing some of the ethics and social implications of the different gene therapy techniques. The different types of therapies discussed in this paper are somatic therapy, germ line therapy, enhancement therapy and eugenics.

From the Paper:

"Using genes to treat and correct illness is a very exciting and potentially perilous new application of genetics. It would not be surprising in the next five years to see Medical Genetics Departments in every hospital. In Gene Futures, Thomas Lee outlines the four categories of therapy that are possible."

I graduated from the University of Portland in 2001 with a degree in Biology with Chemistry and Music minors (3.7 GPA). UP is a liberal arts college so I wrote many papers outside of my major as well. Upon recommendation by faculty who were impressed with my writing, I was asked to be a certified writing assistant. I became certified through a semester class and worked with students across the disciplines to help improve their writing. Currently I am working towards an MS in Biology at Portland State University and applying to medical schools.
