Most of the people I know in biotech think that germline gene therapy
is far too dangerous to be ethical.  Somatic cell therapy is at least
limited in its effects to the individual being treated.

I don't know if research into human germline gene therapy is even
legal in most developed countries.  Anyone here know?
