Gene editing is a more precise way to do gene therapy, and aims to permanently change someone's DNA to try to cure a disease. In November, 44-year-old Brian Madeux became the first person to have gene editing inside the body for a metabolic disease called Hunter syndrome that's caused by a bad gene.
