I worked for 2 summers in a lab doing gene therapy research, primarily with regard to cancer - the research is amazingly promising, and has been for years, but the process is painstaking and brutally slow. Our work with mice showed successes, failures, and really any intermediate you can imagine - as for not worth it, though . . . are you referring specifically to cloning?

Otherwise - we always felt the research, along w/ Stem cell actions, was honestly the best cutting-edge use of funding (which I'm sure you know, is 90% of research, unfortunately).

I'll PM you w/ specifics if you're down, but I'm still bound by my NDA.

I worked on gene therapy and sids patients one summer but that was before Bush so I wonder what happened to all the research there...did they scale back on a lot of gene therapy research??
