Modern Medicine and the Garden of Eden

The human genome is a complex,intricate,and changeable biological system with major implications for clinical medicine. We noted earlier that simplistic approaches to interpretation and manipulation of the human genome were unlikely to result in positive clinical outcomes in the near future. Considerably more basic science and clinical research efforts will be required before modern medicine can reach that ideal place,the “Garden of Eden of medical care,” where human disease will be reversed or markedly attenuated by genomic technologies.
