Welcome to Somatic Gene Therapy. First – as background – gene therapy is the insertion of genes into an individual’s cells and tissues to treat a disease. Although the technology is still in its infancy, it has been used with some success. Scientific breakthroughs continue to move gene therapy towards mainstream medicine. Although controversial, some believe that with further scientific development, gene therapy may be ultimately able to allow human genetic modification towards a desired goal of much better health or longevity – free of inherited diseases.
Somatic Gene Therapy is a subset of genetic engineering. Actually there are two main subsets – germ line gene therapy and somatic gene therapy. Whereas germ line therapy modifies functional genes within the sperm or egg germ cells, any changes introduced is passed on to the offspring. Somatic gene therapy, however, refers to manipulations with the somatic cells of a patient. Any modifications and effects will be restricted to the individual patient only, and will not be inherited by the patient’s offspring or later generations.

Genes Are Organisms, Earth’s Primal Organisms – Overview
The evidence is obvious all around us, as we live and sleep. Just stop running and reflect a while…
A. Again and again, comprehension of the nature of Earth life:
Earth life: 1. a format of temporarily constrained energy, retained in temporary constrained genetic energy packages in forms of genes, genomes and organisms 2. a real virtual affair that pops in and out of existence in its matrix, which is the energy constrained in Earth’s biosphere.
Earth organism: a temporary self-replicable constrained-energy genetic system that supports and maintains Earth’s biosphere by maintenance of genes.
Gene: a primal Earth’s organism. (1st-, base-, stratum organism)
Genome: a multigenes organism consisting of a cooperative commune of its member genes. (2nd stratum organism)
Cellular organisms: mono- or multi-celled earth organisms. (3rd stratum organism)

SKH asked: I am currently in my senior year in High School, and am curious in regards to genetic engineering.
What college classes do I have to take to enter the field of Genetic Engineering? Preferably human genetic engineering, but I am not sure if that requires the same classes to be taken as other genetic engineering fields.
Thank you very much for all the help!
