Gene Therapy
The way to the Future!
Introduction
Gene Therapy is a key part of various Cutting edge medical procedures in the World of Neonphage, in fact it plays a big role in Cybernetics and ensuring that your body can accept implants. It is also how they augment people's life spans, capabiltiess and purging their bodies of negative genetic code and removing negative genetic conditions and even cure cancer. "Human gene therapy seeks to modify or manipulate the expression of a gene or to alter the biological properties of living cells for therapeutic use 1.Gene therapy is a technique that modifies a person’s genes to treat or cure disease. Gene therapies can work by several mechanisms: Replacing a disease-causing gene with a healthy copy of the gene
Inactivating a disease-causing gene that is not functioning properly
Introducing a new or modified gene into the body to help treat a disease
Gene therapy products are being studied to treat diseases including cancer, genetic diseases, and infectious diseases." - FDA https://tinyurl.com/yc5yxfbs FDA Link Above
Utility & Accessibility
Class defines this a lot, the average American Slummer has few options for legal Clinics and more often then not have to resort to Shady methods to get their treatments. This can result in problems, horrendous cancers and fatal Genetic Conditions. However for the Rich and Middle Class, it is widely accessible and nearly every person in the name of Maintaining a healthy work force and minimizing the burden on the healthcare system. It is also another way Governments can spy on you by tracking your overall physical health through legal clinics. Without Gene Therapy the near magical Medical feats of Omnilife and Seraphim would be impossible and the stuff of total fiction. Conjoined Twins? Not only can they separate you but completely restore both bodies to operate as separate units and then in combination of that, implant Neural links and link both minds together keeping the link between the twins alive without the complicated medical procedures. They can also undo growth defects, bone weaknesses and even restore vision. Nothing is quite as amazing as the De-aging treatment which can turn a near dead 100 year old into a spry 20 year old and give them many more years of life every time with very few if ever complications.Complexity
It is possible to do manual 'molding' and alterations but most clinics leave it to A.I to correctly treat conditions and modify humans or diagnose mutations such as lycanthropy, Vampirism, or anomaly exposure caused mutations. The Machines required for this are pricy and complicated to make, however the wide spread use of 3D printing makes the Equipment far easier to mass produce for use in Gene Clinics across the world.
Discovery
"On September 14, 1990, W. French Anderson and his colleagues at the NIH performed the first approved gene therapy procedure on a four-year-old girl born with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) (Anderson, 1990)." -NCBI (Link Below)

However the current sophistication and wide spread use of Gene therapy began after the success of the CRISPR project in the late 2020's and was taken up by the Hoktoka Corporation and their Rivals, Maxwell Industries through their proxy companies, Omnilife and Seraphim
