    …are we sure he’s not doing any more human germ line gene editing without ethical approval or patient consent?

    Lmao, who’s this guy?

      He was found guilty of medical malpractice after gene editing babies by treating their embryos with CRISPR/Cas9. He claims that he was trying to make them resistant to HIV, and that medical ethics are preventing cures from being discovered, but his critics say that we know CRISPR is too unreliable to use on a genome the size of a human’s, and is more likely to introduce dangerous mutations than apply the intended change, hence why no one else has done this before.

        So why is he allowed to work in this field again? Seems wild

        Making them resistant to HIV. How does he test it whether they actually are…?

        Ok, but, does it really not work, or like, it’s just that you would have to run it in a batch and kill the bad cells, which could be unethical on human embryos?

        Like, could we grow legs on a lungfish (which Google says has a larger genome than humans) if we did not care about botched embryos?

        “I need a human baby” is a very difficult sentence to start a conversation with. I don’t blame him for avoiding that awkward proposal.

        yea he was the chinese dude, doing unsanctioned/unethical sciences, which probably dint work nor his paper would be published anyways.

    • Chapo_is_Red@hexbear.net ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      He illegally modifying a couple embryos in a way he claimed that’s make them resistant to certain diseases and subsequently artificially inseminating them (with consent).

      He was sentenced to 3(?) years in prison by China and lost his job.

      Not sure where he’s working now or what kind of research.

        Well the obvious follow up is, clearly, cat girls.

      Legendary mad scientist. Does stuff that’s obviously unethical but not illegal (yet), gets caught, the authorities patch the law, and then he moves on to new mad science. Once went to jail for editing a baby’s genome.
