Gene edited babies!

Featured Replies

Related, but from a broader perspective and historical context of mRNA research, I really liked this (audible) book:

The Code Breaker
The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race

Just a quick breeze through that and I see not a word (perhaps I missed it) about the outcome for the human being whose genes he modified. Since he was sent to jail for his work on editing the genes of babies one could assume that either those babies are all grown up and healthy super humans or dead or hideous mutants?🤔

 

Ah, there it is: "What’s more: The current status of any of the embryos that JK has worked on in the past is still unknown, and it’s unclear how his former patients are doing."

 “They have a normal, peaceful, and undisturbed life,” He says. “This is their wish, and we should respect them. The happiness of the children and their families should come first.”

He plans to track their medical needs and hopes to raise money to pay for health-related expenses. “After the age of 18,” He says, “the children will decide whether to do medical follow-ups for their individual needs. We committed to doing this for their lifetimes.”

The First Gene-Edited Babies Are Supposedly Alive and Well, Says Guy Who Edited Them.

The title of the article you posted. LOL!

That title has equal credibility with this alternative title:

The First Gene-Edited Babies Are All now Hideous Mutants and have made it their goal to enslave the world , Says Guy Who Edited Them.🤪

As long as none are named Khan, I'm probably fine....

We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

Quite ambitious for 4 or 5 year olds.

Yes but they are mutant 4 or 5 year olds so you shouldn't let your experience of normal 4 or 5 year olds govern your expectations.

He's now out of jail, so will he find a way to continue his work? 

I am proposing a research project "Human embryo gene editing to protect against Alzheimer’s disease"
