Gene therapy using germ line cells results in permanent changes that are passed down to subsequent generations. ... Somatic cells are nonreproductive. Somatic cell therapy is viewed as a more conservative, safer approach because it affects only the targeted cells in the patient, and is not passed on to future generations.

Somatic gene therapy: transfer of a section of DNA to any cell of the body that doesn't produce sperm or eggs. Effects of gene therapy will not be passed onto the patient's children. Germline gene therapy: transfer of a section of DNA to cells that produce eggs or sperm.
