I guess china put his ass in prison for that. I missed his release, but man either prison aged this guy terribly, which hey it prolly did, or its not the same person lmao. Maybe its just the difference in angles because his nose does look the same.
He Jiankui announced nearly five years ago that he had created the first gene-edited babies, twin girls named Lulu and Nana. The news sent shockwaves around the world. There were accusations that the biophysicist had grossly violated medical ethics; some critics compared him to Dr. Frankenstein.
And he paid a price. He was swiftly detained and a Chinese court later sentenced him to three years in prison for "illegal medical practices."
About a year ago he got out, and says he took up golf. Then something unexpected happened.
"There [were] over 2,000 DMD patients, they are writing to me, text me, make phone call to me," he says.
DMD, or Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is a genetic disease that causes muscles to waste away. There is no cure yet. The patients, and their families, had heard about He from his baby project, he says.
"They want me to develop therapy for them," he tells NPR in an interview.
Scientists put cuttlefish genes into rabbits to make them fluoresce under blacklight.
We can assume “You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.” (Tesla) is already here.
Yeah, like that chinese scientist who ended up mysteriously disappeared after claiming that he produced gene-edited babies?

Anyway, this shit is prolly happening.
Agreed.
Dolly was made (cloned) a very long time ago. CRISPR has been out for years.
The idea that these two have not been used for humans is silly.
It means bllleeergghh and it's gonna be ugly
