Core Tip Precision therapies are heralded to change the prognosis of rare and severe genetic disorders. However, the new treatments are not always curative and what can be viewed on one hand as a partial improvement, on the other may result, at least for some patients, in prolonged suffering. During this period of change, great hopes but unpredictable outcomes can mark the lives of patients. Recalling and considering the ethical debates on historical cases can help doctors in giving the right advice to the families of patients with rare and severe disorders.
