I'm grappling with the application of recombinant DNA technology in addressing genetic disorders that stem from mutations in single genes. Specifically, I'm curious about the mechanisms through which this technology can effectively target and potentially correct such mutations. For example, how does recombinant DNA technology enable us to insert a healthy copy of a gene into an individual's genome, and what are the challenges associated with ensuring that this modification is stable and expressed correctly? Additionally, I would like to understand the ethical considerations we need to account for when using these techniques in humans. I appreciate any insights or examples that could clarify these concepts!
