I know that it is germ line therapy, but what I would like to know is the legal situation in the U.S. It is illegal in Germany, but stating that is only of limited use in the English translation. Is there a federal law or does it vary from state to state? Where can I find reliable information?

In contrast to Europe, whose governments have already indicated that they will take a firm stand on the new technology, the United States has no law that would prohibit germline manipulation for whatever purpose, provided experiments passed safety and efficacy muster with the Food and Drug Administration. Privately funded research towards germline gene therapy using human embryos is also legal in the United States.

Because people who would be affected by germline gene therapy are not yet born, they can\'t choose whether to have the treatment. Because of these ethical concerns, the U.S. Government does not allow federal funds to be used for research on germline gene therapy in people.
