Playing God harder than it looks, even for doctors

Telegraph | News | Gene therapy is just an expensive myth, claim scientists :
"Prof Steve Jones, a leading geneticist at University College, London, said that excessive claims had been made about biotechnology.
"'It's clear that the technical advances have been grossly distorted from the start. I would say give it 10 years before deciding, but I would have said that 10 years ago,' he said.
"Prof Jones said that the scientific insights offered by biotechnology were remarkable, but increasingly suggested that living organisms were far more complex than anyone believed."

As someone remarked at the time Ventner and company announced success in the human genome project, it probably isn't a code and we may never be able to read it.
