This source gave an overview about multiple topics related to genetic engineering, including a section specifically on gene therapy. While the purpose of this article is to give an understanding of genetic engineering and where it is going, it also broached multiple issues society may face from genetic engineering in humans, the most prominent being the idea of new germ cells in genetically altered humans that could pose a threat to others without altered genes. If a disease forms from the people with manipulated genes, all of the people without would be at great risk. Despite the fact that this source is not focused solely on genetic engineering, it still offered a lot of input on the subject and raised further questions about the safety of genetic engineering in humans and could thus prove to be a valuable source for our research.
