Answer:

Ethical limits are still not completely established.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pros: Gene therapies are being developed for hereditary diseases that are transmitted through a single, specific gene.

Examples are some diseases of the blood and immune system, some types of blindness, or metabolic damage.

Cons: Because the procedures are very invasive and it requires a large number of animals to serve as guinea pigs.
