Medical Benefits and Consequences in Genetic Engineering Today scientists are experimenting with gene therapy as a way to permanently help people who have hemophilia and other inherited diseases. Gene therapy involves inserting healthy genes into human cells to correct or prevent diseases. When genes are introduced into body cells other than eggs and sperm‚ this is called somatic cell gene therapy. Any effects are limited to the person receiving the therapy as the new genes are not passed on

large family from the Aland Islands had enlarged bruising and extended incidents of bleeding. The seriousness of the bleeding varied between family members and ranged from mild to severe. What differentiated this bleeding disorder from classical hemophilia was that it did not appear to be linked with muscle and joint bleeding‚ and it affected both women and men. Dr. von Willebrand named this disorder hereditary pseudohemophilia (Andres 1554). Pseudohemophilia‚ commonly known as von Willebrand disease
