What is the major obstacle that prevents recombinant technology to be used in humans?

 

Thanks

Could someone elaborate on it? I know we already know the human genome.

 

ANd I read there are problems with just getting the DNA inside the cells intact not just the complexity of genome.

 

Thanks

Yeah there just isn't a safe predictable method that allows one to change the DNA of a grown adult.

 

It's a problem of delivery, and specificity.

 

Though it currently being done with stem cells to some sucess. However that requires the removal and culture of these cells then they are altered and reintroduced to a person.
