CRISPR Babies: Six years later
Speakers: He Jiankui, CRISPR Pioneer, Antonio Regalado, senior editor for biomedicine, and Mat Honan, editor in chief
Gene modifying can right or enhance the DNA of human embryos, primarily opening the door to “technological evolution” of our species. But in 2018, a untimely try to make use of gene modifying led to a jail time period for He Jiankui, the researcher concerned. Editor in chief Mat Honan and senior editor for biomedicine Antonio Regalado have a dialog with He Jiankui, biophysicist and creator of the primary gene-edited people, to revisit this controversial know-how and the way forward for modifying in IVF clinics.
