As per the recent ethical rules laid down by the National Institute of Health, a disease that cannot be treated …………would qualify for treatment involving human gene manipulation.

Answer: The National Institutes of Health is the primary US government agency in charge of biomedical as well as public health research. It was built in the late 1880s and now is part of the US Department of Health & Human Services. A large percentage of NIH amenities are in Maryland, Bethesda and other neighbouring suburbs of the Washington metropolitan region, with other basic facilities in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park as well as smaller satellite facilities scattered across the country. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) performs its scientific investigations through the Intramural Research Program (IRP) as well as provides significant biomedical funding for research to non-NIH study facilities through Extramural Research Program. As per the recent ethical rules laid down by the National Institute of Health, a disease that cannot be treated “alternatively” would qualify for treatment involving human gene manipulation.
