Sickle Cell Anemia Genetic Disease Response

I feel that sickle cell anemia is a terrible disease. People have to undergo a lot of pain for treatment. I hope people find a better and less painful cure for this. It would make people who have this disease feel much more better. I am surprised that it was discovered in 1904 which was not that long ago. It is really heartbreaking because people who have this disease can only live to about 42-48 years of age. 1 out of 5000 people have this disease world wide. Hopefully people will make a cure for this terrible disease so people who have this can live longer!
