As will be apparent to readers of my new book, listed below, medical science is fast approaching the earliest attempts at direct treatment of genetically caused diseases.
There are very many of these, since genetic factors play an important role in many common disease, for example cancer and the auto-immune disorders.
As increasing numbers of people are now reading my book I would like to offer them the chances of asking questions about the evolution of the human genome, the way DNA codes for heredity, what terms like genetics and epigenetics mean, and where we now appear to be heading.
The invitation is open. Don't feel silly or afraid to ask any question that is bothering you.
