Already doing it... so because we're doing it, we should continue. Again, why not continue human sacrifice and bloodletting?
It's been successful... let's ignore any failures.

Deny suffering child... yeah, it's about saving the children.
Religious fanatic... as though religion is the only thing that would oppose "science". Science opposes science but especially opposes junk science.
Science will some day be able... speculation at best. They have no idea if it will work. This is "the end justifies the means" when these "scientists" only speculate what the end might be, and ignore the possible repercussions for generations to come.
Your comparison of gene therapy with bloodletting and human sacrifice is preposterous.
And every new treatment has involved some failures - many people suffered adverse effects in the development of polio vaccines; dozens of people died in the race to the moon.
I guess we shouldn’t try to progress in any area, because there is always risk. But the risk averse never go forward or achieve much worthy of the genius with which God blessed us - and which I assume He intended that we USE.
I’m finished.
