Week 10, Tailor-Made Cells

It's scary to read about companies talking so openly and matter-of-fact about the use of cells to introduce genetic material into people. Although this new technology seems revolutionary and helpful, there is a huge part of me that cringes at the notion of someone in a lab coat messing with genes and then putting them into my body. I am healthy, and if i was unhealthy and this could save me maybe I wouldn't think twice about it. Nevertheless, it seems like companies that are out for profit are the ones using and testing these new medical technologies...and that is really scary.
