Last summer (1984), I read an article in NEWSWEEK Magazine about genetic
research.  What a fascinating article.  I am not sure which issue it was
but I read it while sitting in a doctor's office in September.  See if you
can find it at your local library.  It explained in detail how far the
research has gone, their triumphs, etc.  If I remember correctly, one major
advance in medicine due to genetic research is treatment for the disease
which leaves newborn children without an immune system.  Not AIDS.  Remember
the boy in the bubble in Texas.  They've been very successful in treating these
children in the last couple of years and curing them.    

Try to read the article.  I would really like to read it again myself.
