I had heard earlier reports that he was to be executed, but being fired is probably bad enough in China. Secondly, I had always assumed that human genetic engineering would be to produce a human who is either stronger or more intelligent than average, or possibly both.

...a report of findings from an investigation into Hes work...Shouldn't that be 'They's' work? This is all so confusing.

Secondly, I had always assumed that human genetic engineering would be to produce a human who is either stronger or more intelligent than average, or possibly both I would guess that the scientist faked his results for a high-profile experiment and got caught. Execution would be a conventional Chinese response to such things.
I am certain that other Chinese scientists have active research programs along the lines that you suggest. They have published findings claiming to identify 50+ gene complexes which correlate with higher intelligence.

The fact is that we have NO idea what genetic engineering will do because we only have the vaguest of ideas what genes control what systems.
We are like toddlers who decide to cut apart a tapestry with the idea of improving it.
We don't know what we are doing, there is no improvement and we will hurt our selves in the process.
Heck we can not even breed smarter humans, what makes us think we can design them?

He provoked international outcry last November when he revealed that he had used the gene-editing technique CRISPRCas9 to modify human embryos in an effort to make them resistant to HIV; the embryos were then implanted into a woman and produced twin girls, Nana and Lulu, in November. So are they resistant to HIV? If so, it could be that these twin girls will be able to provide a cure for HIV. Nothing wrong in that, as long as his "experimentation" was really successful.
Remember that Clinton was embroiled in a scandal that allowed prison inmates to donate blood, and that these donors actually infected people with their tainted blood. That coincided with the rise of AIDS in the United States, and infecting a great number of others with hepatitis.
My point is that there are a lot of people who did not engage in risky lifestyles that were affected by this scandal, worldwide.
