Résumé

This book explores genetic manipulation as the most promising frontier of modern medicine. It offers a comprehensive and detailed view of the impact of gene therapies, gene editing with CRISPR, and cloning in transforming medical treatments. This work is essential for health professionals, researchers, and interested readers seeking to understand how these technologies are revolutionizing the way we treat genetic, hereditary, and degenerative diseases. With a didactic and scientific approach, the book begins by explaining the foundations of genetic manipulation, from the earliest DNA experiments to the most recent innovations in biotechnology, such as CRISPR-Cas9.
Then, the reader dives into practical applications like somatic and germline gene therapy, genetic editing for mutation correction, and the potential of therapeutic cloning for tissue regeneration. Additionally, the book does not limit itself to technical analysis. It also addresses the complex bioethical dilemmas and the psychological and social impacts involving genetic manipulation, reflecting on the challenges of equitable access to these technologies and the potential consequences of a "genetic elite". Key topics include: Gene therapy: inserting genes to treat diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis.
CRISPR and gene editing: how this technology is correcting mutations and offering new hopes for hereditary and infectious diseases. Therapeutic cloning: producing stem cells to treat degenerative diseases. Ethical and social aspects: the ethical dilemmas surrounding these technologies and their impacts on future generations. The future of genetic medicine: personalized therapies and research on longevity.
 By bringing together a detailed discussion of the possibilities and limitations of genetic manipulation, the book also reflects on the future of personalized medicine, the role of biotechnology in extending human life, and the implications of these innovations for society. If you seek a comprehensive understanding of genetic technologies and their potential to transform medicine and human health, this book offers an engaging and deeply informative read.
