Gene therapy is set to revolutionise medicine. The ability to replace the function of a missing or

faulty gene offers millions of people with life-threatening, rare conditions, the potential for longer,

healthier lives. In some cases, a single one-time treatment can provide a lifetime of benefits.

This New Scientist debate will evaluate how best to assess the value of gene therapies to benefit

individuals, healthcare systems as well as broader society. At the forefront of this issue is how

healthcare systems and policymakers can prepare for a new era of medicine in a way that gives

patients and their families the best outcome.
