Develop new methods to test the hypothesis.

Reason: you don't need to rely on human reproduction — you can use alternative approaches (cell culture, organoids, animal models, gene-edited cell lines, computational models, clinical trials) to test gene-therapy ideas without waiting for human generational cycles.
