Rewriting the Code: Sickle Cell Gene Therapy Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts carry the weight of before and after: childhoods measured in pain crises and transfusion chairs, the decision to undergo a therapy that demands chemotherapy conditioning and months in transplant units, fertility preserved against the treatment's cost to it, and the afters — hemoglobin steady, emergency rooms unfamiliar again, first winters without a crisis narrated like miracles. Writers include the infusion that took months to declare itself, access and price as the community's central grief, trial participants who opened the door, and parents watching edited blood carry their children somewhere new.

Who it's for

For sickle cell patients and families weighing gene therapy, those in the eligibility and financing maze, and readers watching genetic medicine keep its oldest promise.
