A Chinese researcher claims that he helped make the world’s first genetically edited babies — twin girls born this month whose DNA he said he altered with a powerful new tool capable of rewriting the very blueprint of life.

“The very blueprint of life”?
Not just “the blueprint of life”?
I’m convinced, then. Must not be a hoax if it’s the “VERY blueprint if life”.
This could bring back Circuses, maybe it’s not all bad.
The same prediction applies to science.
Our race (the human race) is on the verge of some really strange changes. Sounds a lot like Genesis 6 and the Book of Enoch.
His goal is to prevent them from getting HIV. So this is the first thing they want to genetically alter??? I would have thought he would try to make them resistent to climate change.
“This could bring back Circuses, maybe it’s not all bad.”
I foresee a much more sinister future for cloning.....
CRISPR technology has been out for a while. I am guessing that this has been done by most major powers for some time. In search of super soldier’s.
How do they know the engineered HIV block is effective unless they deliberately ATTEMPT to infect the kids with HIV..?
Does anyone doubt that China, a country that harvests Faulin Gong organs and assigns all citizens a social compliance metric, will TEST the HIV block..?
I don’t have the tiniest doubt.
China is becoming a MONSTER.
As if we don’t already have enough problems with homosexuals and the “transgendered”.
Very very bad idea. Messing with the normal way nature works will lead to a weakening of the human race over time.
But nobody cares! they talk about the great scientific achievement, but it isn’t.
He also said “Only the paranoid survive.”!
The Chinese are doing a Public Relations event to get world wide approval for their genetics program. The CCR5 receptor is a window that allows the aids virus to enter the white blood cell and feed and multiply inside the white blood cell.The modification closes the window and prevents the aids virus from entering. A big win for the human race. What is being done by the Chinese that they are not telling us about is where the threat to humanity lies. Super soldiers, pathogens of DNA Warfare?! Who Knows.
How much editing did they do? Do these children have straight black hair and brown, almond eyes?
Every time man gets one of these “brillant” ideas, it only creates far more problems then it solves. Who knows what will happen or what kind of diseases we might create by attempting to alter human DNA. And once altered DNA gets into society, it will be impossible to stopped.
Man does not have enough wisdom to play God.
