I disagree with the person who answered before me. For the gene therapy to work the virus must effect all the cells in the body because the mutation will be in every single cell of the patient. If the case were that only a specific cell needs to be fixed (perhapse the mucus destroying enzyme in the lungs) needs to be fixed then yes the previous answer is correct. However if it isn't just one specific thing then the virus will need to be inserted into cells that continue to divide.

Viruses do not have a nucleus, they cannot be recycled because they release their genetic code and that cannot be recovered unless they replicate and the problem with letting them replicate is that they have a likelihood of mutating and becoming something malicious. So by the power of deduction the correct answer is 3

Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)inhibit inflammation by inhibiting an enzyme in the prostaglandin
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Aspirin works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Aspirin inhibits the formation of prostaglandins by combining with the COX enzymes. Prostaglandins function as messenger molecules to monitor different physiological procedures in distinct regions of the body. One of the prime activities of prostaglandins is to stimulate inflammation and pain.  

Prostaglandins are also the essential controller of platelet aggregation. By changing the COX enzymes inside the platelets, aspirin makes platelets to lose the stickiness, which is required to instigate clotting of blood.  

There are two forms of cyclooxygenase, that is, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 generates prostaglandins and COX-2 mediates pain and swelling in response to tissue injury. Aspirin prevents both COX-1 and COX-2 functioning, while COX-2 is the therapeutic target of the drug.  

However, it is the association of aspirin with COX-1 in the gastrointestinal tract, which results in the unwanted side effects of the drug. COX-1 is required to sustain a thick lining of the stomach. As aspirin inhibits the COX-1 enzyme, thus, the continuous use of the drug can result in the thinning of mucus, which safeguards the stomach from gastric juices.  

In such cases, stomach bleeding, ulcers, and in certain situations perforation of the stomach can take place. Therefore, aspirin exhibits both bad and good effects.
