Gene Editing - A Future Disease Cure?

Scientists are making tiny scissors called, 'TALEN's,' that can cut and fix a broken gene in a cell. The technology is not ready for use in people yet but when it is it might help people to cure a number of different genetic diseases as long as those diseases are caused by issues with a single gene. The new tool has the potential to help with diseases such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, diseases where a single gene is broken.
