In performing germline therapy, looking from the topic of the
ethical problems connected to our modal duties related to future generations
our conclusion is that the refusal of applying the engineering technique in

consists in an oversimplification because it can be founded only on a
deterministic (once referred to individuals) and static (referred instead to
the species) idea of the DNA.
