I have an alien with a genetic disorder that I need to be either untreatable, extremely risky, or extremely expensive.
This alien has been cast out from her xenophobic species, so she'll get no help from them. However, the aliens she works with are highly advanced with science & tech with a great deal of resources at their disposal. They're far advanced of present-day human tech and they're a space-faring scientifically-minded group of aliens from a fair number of planets/solar systems.
My uneducated-in-this-area mind would think that gene therapy should be fairly standard.
What are some possible plausible reasons for gene therapy for her to be impossible, extremely risky, or extremely expensive?
