The bottom line:
Inheritable genetic modification will occur even if banned, because demand will be strong and people will be willing to pay. Rather than encourage black markets and likely abuses, we should legalize the practice so that it can be safely regulated. Although now ethical issues will be resolved, it is better to have this research in the hand of professional government officials and scientists, that at least are under laws and have the general welfare in mind. Rather than having it a secretive movement that is not done properly.
