Friedberg says one death halted gene therapy for seven years despite technology now curing dozens of diseases.
“They weren't allowed to do any more gene therapy treatments. And since then we now have literally dozens of gene therapy treatments that can cure dozens of human diseases”
Friedberg says one gene therapy death led to a seven-year halt despite dozens of life-saving therapies now available.
“They weren't allowed to do any more gene therapy treatments. And since then we now have literally dozens of gene therapy treatments that can cure dozens of human diseases saving millions of lives.”
Friedberg recounts how one gene therapy death in the late 1990s halted all such treatments for seven years.
“And when he died, they put a stop on gene therapy treatments for I think seven years. They weren't allowed to do any more gene therapy treatments.”
