    In September of 1999, the Institute of Human Gene Therapy at the University of Pennsylvania ran an experiment in which Jesse Gelsinger participated (Rowe, 2000). The experiment consisted of an ornithine transcarbamylase gene therapy, wherein participants would increase their abilities to eliminate ammonia (Rowe, 2000). Because Gelsinger had a genetic disease (called ornithine transcarbamylase or OTC) which caused him to have difficulties in releasing ammonia from his body, he seemed to be an ideal participant (Kolehmainen, 2000). Unfortunately, neither Jesse nor his father were aware before the commencement of the experiment that several monkeys had died from the therapy, and human participants had been suffering adverse effects from the experiment (Rowe, 2000). Also, Jesse Gelsinger and the other participants involved were not…
