Human gene therapy is a way to treat and even prevent diseases and cancers through surgery or prescription drugs. All procedures have risks, along with gene therapy, and even though this is still an ongoing experiment it is hopeful that in the near future this will help sick people. The Human Genome Project (HGP) was a scientific research project determined to find the sequence of chemical base pair that make human DNA, and also to find and identify all the genes in a human genome. The plan of HGP started in 1984 and took off in 1990, the research was concluded in 2003.
