This paper attempts to debunk the slippery-slope argument against human germ-line gene therapy by showing that the downside of the slope--genetic enhancement--need not be as unethical or unjust as some people have supposed. It argues that if genetic enhancement is governed by proper regulations and is accompanied by adequate education, then it need not violate recognized principles of morality or social justice.
