    This web page has so much information about human gene therapy. It gives a background of the complete history of it, gives examples of some arguments about the therapy (for and against), and it gives a ton of other outside sources and a description on them

    I really like the history on this site. It is going to be really helpful to see how this new technology has progressed and see how it is going to continue to progress.

    This is a good website. Its has a lot of information and goes into a lot of details. For our project this will have a lot of stuff we can use.

    This is a very interesting article. Timothy Brown may be the only person cured of AIDS. Brown, who lives in San Francisco, in 2007 received a stem-cell transplant in Berlin that transferred genetic material to him from one of the up to 2 percent of humans with a natural immunity to the disease. He has been off treatment since then, and no traces of the AIDS virus have been found in his body, says his hematologist, Gero Hütter, now with the German Red Cross in Mannheim. His case has encouraged tiny Sangamo BioSciences (SGMO) to develop a new form of gene therapy that could offer others the same result.

    Fascinating! I hadn't heard of this before. Good find. You all are off to a good start and using the annotation and comment features to good effect. SW

    I found this very interesting to think they might actually have a way to cure AIDS. If they can do this, just think of the other possibilities that we could see in the future.

    This is so interesting. Maybe we could part of our project about focusing on him or even find other people who have been cured from a well known disease through gene therapy.

    I agree with Elizabeth, I think we should use this for our project and try to research other people who have tried this and whether they were successful or not.

    I saw this on a different website a little while ago and was in shock. In the field of medicine we're becoming incredibly advanced.

    This is pretty cool. Seems that there is a cure for color blindness, just don't know if it was tested on humans. It's still pretty cool that this worked in monkeys.

    That would be really cool if they could use gene therapy to cure color blindness.

    This is very interesting. Think of all the posibilities if color blind people could be cured! A good question to look at though is the side affects, did any of the monkey die, what are some possible sideaffects?
