title: [Ethical aspects of gene manipulation].
abstract: It has become apparent that it is neither possible nor convenient to ignore all the possibilities of gene manipulation. Neither is it responsible to blindly trust in these techniques. The gains and risks must be weighed for every case. The recent amendment to the German guidelines for gene manipulation techniques does not mean that ethical discussions have ended, rather it is imperative that such discussions continue.
