Blood is withdrawn from the patient. The white cells are separated and cultured in a laboratory. Normal genes from a volunteer are inserted into modified viruses, which, in turn, transfer the normal gene into the chromosomes of the patient's white cells. The white cells containing the normal genes are finally injected into the patient's bloodstream. 2, record 1, English, - gene%20therapy

Los posibles usos de la tecnología genética están a veces divididos según el propósito: mejoramiento o terapia. El mejoramiento genético significa alterar los genes para mejorar los rasgos humanos o caraterísticas más allá de lo que se considera "normal" [...] Por contraste, la terapia genética significa alterar los genes que poseen mutaciones peligrosas para prevenir o curar enfermedades. 5, record 1, Spanish, - terapia%20g%C3%A9nica
