Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 I read in the paper this week where scientist have been able to insert a form of the HIV virus into the bone marrow of mice with sickle cell anemia. . . .the end result is eliminating Sickle Cell in the mice. The implications for this with the Afro American population is staggering. Imagine a disease that could be eleminated that primarily strikes a certain population. This is wonderful news for the black population of the world . The article said that experiments with humans is probably still two years away , but I thought it was an excellent example of how the changing of genes can really be a wonderful thing .
