From the Paper:
"The concept of "gene therapy" has gained significance over the past few decades and is based on the assumption that genetic disease can be treated through directing treatment to the actual mutant gene rather than to the external effects of mutation. The goal of human gene therapy is to replace, correct, or augment the content of mutant genes in defective cells by introducing normal genetic sequences . Considerations and impacts of significance that accrue from the progress of the revolutionary and controversial science of human gene therapy will be discussed. Emphasis will be on the ramifications for medical and public policy, for the rights and feelings of the genetically handicapped, and for the predicted direction of eugenics aside from that of genetic diseases.
