“Beta-thalassemia is a blood disorder that plagues individuals throughout the entirety of their lives. There is no truly viable cure. The only real hope that people have of overcoming this disease is either a stem cell or bone marrow transplant; however, these procedures are rarely performed due to the life-threatening risk that comes with them.

This is me and All my descendants

Cool
While it is amazing, I’m just wondering how long we can be on this slippery slope until it feels like we’re playing god
Ross Green we kinda all ready do with all of our farms and factories we are living in a future our ancestors could hardly dream of.
Wow! Amazing!
wasnt it an African disease, like sickle cell? seems to be describing the consequences of cannibal meals
Can any one explain to me a little about this please.
