The problem, gene therapy may correct the ailments in the person being treated with consent but like many unexplained diseases, the problem may not be seen for the next 3 generation. The consenting person may have the right to the treatment and it may work... for him but create undesirable affects 2 3 4 generations down the road, who is held liable or does it not matter? if it could be proven at all. We are opening up the abyss of the unknown! Each human is genetically different, yes we all have some genes that are common with one another but we also have unique genes that make us as individuals (besides the environment we were raised in) how do we create check and balances of the unknown?
