Analysis
http://www.ndsu.edu/pubweb/~mcclean/plsc431/students98/cricle.htm
This article by Katherine Circle outline the main point of Germline gene therapy. Circle first tell us how fascinating gene therapy is and how she came to studying genetics. The major break through in biotechnology as stated by Circle is the Dolly, the first cloned animal and how this affects genetic research. The article is very clear and provides a lot of general information on the progress of genetic alterations. The language used is easy to understand, at the level of high school students making this article a good source for high school germline gene therapy background information. Circle references many dates to give the reader an idea of the advancement of germline gene therapy, however because the article was written in 1998, it does not contain any recent information on germlime gene therapy.

The information provided in this article is very basic and is more used for introductory purposes. The article outlines the two forms of gene therapy, germline and somatic, and gives a clear explanation on both methods of altering genes. Ethical implications are also touched upon in this article, but is not thoroughly explained. The article is a good read for people who do not understand gene therapy in general to get them started on the background. Though the article is archived and it was published in March of 2006 it provides the main goals and controversies of gene therapy being worked on today.
http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/therapy/procedures
The article is very short but provides enough information to successfully explain the method of which gene therapy is administered. The language used is quite simple yet distinct, by using the scientific name and linking it to the picture, I was able to quickly understand the process and know the names of the chemicals or processes in gene therapy.

Owen Henry's article in gene therapy is more in depth than most other articles on the matter, Henry also explains the ethics of germline gene therapy; a subject other articles do not elaborate as much on. Henry starts off by providing an explanation of the procedure of both germline and somatic gene therapy. Henry then moves on to arguments for the use and the ban on gene therapy in general. The language is much more technical but still understandable due to the diagrams provided. Henry also backs up his arguments with statistics, making me understand scale of each symptom or cure. The conclusion sums up Henry's article really well; giving the reader a possibility of the use of gene therapy in the not so distant future.

The article explains the goals and the reason why scientist have chosen gene therapy to cure certain disorders. The information provided is concise, stating the genetic problems gene therapy endeavours to fix. The disorders mentioned in this article have not been tested but are possibilities going further down the path of genetic research. The explanations are not complex and the names of all processes and chemicals involved should already be known to those studying this subject. However the tests stated in this article are future possibilities, not current experiments.
