Reply to comment by CharlisonX in A novel medication for hemophilia B has just been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The treatment is a form of gene therapy, intended to replace a dysfunctional gene that leaves people unable to control their bleeding. by Sariel007
It depends on the therapy. In this case, no, it’s not likely to target sperm or egg cells specifically.

The word “eugenics” comes to mind
