Gene therapy may eventually provide effective treatment for many diseases that currently have no cure: muscular dystrophy, diabetes, cancer, and even acquired immune deficiency (AIDS) (Access Excellence). By the addition of a single gene to a number of lab mice a group of scientists successfully enhanced the mice memory with little to no noticeable side effects (stableford 16). This discovery could lead to further ways to treat brain and memory diseases, such as Alzheimer's (Herger). Advances in genetic therapy like this one may answer and prove other theories not

Since the use of genetic therapy would increase the number of humans in the world. With the over population that occurs no
