LionsMane Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I have been fascinated by a theory of mine. Is there a way to split the human genetic structure, then split and fuse another genetic strand to it in order to create an entirely new genetic sequence? I have been theorizing that if it can be done with, say, animal D.N.A, then one could in theory create a mutant genetic structure for the purpose of solving genetic defects without a human donor.This way there would be a virtually unlimited supply that could help thousand, if not more, who suffer from such defects.
Bluenoise Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Well it's called gene therapy. And it's not a new theory of yours. Countless teams of researchers have been trying to pull it off for at least a few decades now with very limited success.
