"Oh No No - It's The Moops!"

Ah, good news:
No more 'bubble boy': Gene therapy gives kids normal lives...Guy is among more than a dozen children, now aged 4 to 14, who lead nearly normal lives despite the disease thanks to an experimental treatment that appears to be a long-term success. In two papers published this week, researchers in Britain report that gene transfer therapy has kept SCID in check in young patients for nearly a decade, rivaling traditional transplant techniques.
Of course by "good news" I mean "good news that they didn't come up with this 20 years ago, robbing us of one of the all-time great sitcom scenes."
