How or the unmet need ok but people do inject themselves with gene therapy is there are a few known cases and probably on the tour level you on an amateur level people inject themselves with or with maybe some little assistance. Outside of the standard medical Research Practice do we know what that has resulted in to date i think not much has come of it because.
