Gene therapy as a part of mainstream medicine?

Hi

A cousin of mine , who is a doctor , is interested in Gene therapy but has no interest in Research. He wants to pursue Gene therapy now and says very soon it will be a part of mainstream medicine and a part of clinical practice. Do you guys see such a thing happening very soon anytime.

Is there scope for clinical practice of genetics without getting into research ?

Research is what provides the information, equipment and medication that helps a Dr. practice increasingly better medicine.

There is no God-spirit hovering over an embryonic fertilized human egg any more than over a monkey's egg or any other. Not even half a God. Take a look.
