Scientists have found a way to completely protect monkeys from HIV according to a BBC news story. According to the article:  After conventional vaccination, the immune system responds only after it is presented with a threat.  The gene therapy approach turns cells into factories that constantly spew out the artificial HIV-killers, and the long-term implications of that are unknown. This make me wonder about the possibility of a serious mishap. So, if a person takes this treatment and has a child, will the child inherit the little "gene factories?" There was a "wonder drug", Thalidomide, used in the late 50's for insomnia, morning sickness, and depression. It had to be taken off the market as tens of thousands of babies were born with shorten legs, arms or none at all, to mothers taking the drug. My question again: So, if a person takes this treatment and has a child, will the child inherit the little "gene factories?"
