this on myself. While it might prevent a particular genetic illness from running in a
family, it could also have unanticipated long-term repercussions or impact a fetus's
growth in unexpected ways. People who would benefit from germline gene therapy
cannot decide whether to get the treatment because they have not yet been born. Some

federal funds for human germline gene therapy research. On many occasions,
competitive sports also forestall this type of modification, because this leads to
disadvantages for individuals.
