The report was prompted by the death of 8-year-old Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez, who died in May 2023 at a #CBP facility in Harlingen, TX. The Panamanian girl, who had a known history of #heart problems & #SickleCellAnemia, reportedly pleaded for help along with her mother. Both were ignored. She died in custody, her final hours spent in a facility whose staff were unequipped—& seemingly unwilling—to provide #CriticalCare.

Could gene therapy be a #gamechanger in the fight against #sickle-cell anemia? | DW News
There might be fresh hope for millions of people affected by #SickleCellDisease. In the #US, a new commercially licensed gene #therapy has been administered for the first time to a patient.
It could be a gamechanger in the fight against this disorder of unusually-shaped red #blood cells that can disrupt the victims' blood flow. This leads to severe health complications including #chronic pain and organ damage, which can also be life threatening.
The #genetic condition is found around the world but mainly among people with West or #CentralAfrican backgrounds. According to the World Health Organization 1,000 children are born with the disease every day in Africa. And the existing treatments can be rare and expensive.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvhidtytB5w

Human genome editing offers tantalizing possibilities – but without clear guidelines, many ethical questions still remain https://www.rawstory.com/human-genome-editing-offers-tantalizing-possibilities-but-without-clear-guidelines-many-ethical-questions-still-remain/ #Genome #Editing #Science #Ethics #CRISPR #DNA #Sequencing #AltText #news #eugenics #inequities #inequality #WHO #Cells #SickleCellAnemia #Controversial
CRISPR - "Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats", can be used to accurately change specific DNA sequences.
Any changes would be passed on to future generations.

This is such a powerful tool. I say we should be able to use it on such things as kids with sickle cell anemia.

We can now edit the human genome with a tool called CRISPR. But how far should we go?
