Friday, October 04, 2002Scientists have long theorized that retroviruses, which were used in the suspended experiments, could trigger cancer. The risk was that the virus, which integrates itself into the patient's DNA, would lodge in or near a cancer-causing gene. There's a lot we don't know about genes and how they work. Yet, it would be too harsh to criticize the research. The immune deficiency that the boy had was severe and life-threatening itself, so the experimental therapy provided him at least some hope. posted by Sydney on 10/04/2002 01:24:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
