4.9/5 (33071 ratings)

Description:On a bright September day in 2008, 8-year-old Corey Haas went to the Philadelphia zoo with his parents, and screamed. Four days earlier he had gene therapy to cure his hereditary blindness, and now the sun was hurting his eyes. Billions of doctored viruses injected into his eye had corrected the genetic defect. Corey’s suddenly restored vision marked a renaissance in gene therapy, a biotechnology sidelined nine years earlier when an 18-year-old died in a similar experiment in the very same Philadelphia hospital. The Forever Fix tells Corey’s inspiring story against the backdrop of other children treated since the field was born in 1990, and those looking ahead to future gene therapy. The treatments pioneered on the children’s rare diseases will reverberate to many more common illnesses.
