Researcher He Jiankui said last week that he had altered embryos for seven couples during fertility treatments. He said two of the edited embryos were born healthy twin baby girls. Their DNA had been altered to try to make them resistant to infection with the HIV virus. There is no independent confirmation of what He says he did.

Sht happens.
Maybe he was really just making stuff up to attract deep pocket investors. That happens sometimes.

They attracted many, many wealthy investors. They were rolling in the dough for a while, and then, the bottom dropped out. Her secret of deceit became public information.
I think she still walks free to this day, perhaps all due to Beauty Privilege.
Yeah, she got her investors for almost $1B, but she supposedly had to give it back, which for some reason I doubt happened. I know, I’m too cynical.
Still wondering where did the Raelians go?
He moved in with the guy who powers his house by cold fusion.
“I’m workin’ on it! Okay?” She will be saying, 35 years from now.

So the lies were buried and no questions asked.
Remember that WHOLE episode well.
It ended BADLY for her.
And she FAKED data.
Perhaps he’s now an organ donor?
He was doing some gene-editing without permission from the state.
They don’t like when stuff happens outside of their control. Especially when it creates negative publicity.
I would more likely believe that he faked the experiment and got caught.

She made PT Barnum proud.
That’s the one.
If Megyn Kelly ever wants to be in a movie, she should audition for this part.
More like rewiring his brain. Probably should have cleared his speech through Big Brother first.
