Why is this disgraced and denounced genome-editing ethics-lacking guy being spammed so fucking much
Why is he disgraced for modifying embryos? I feel like there's something major im missing. These were women who were aware of the editing and one of the parents had HIV. Not sure why this is so unethical other than the whole pro life movement.
I don't enjoy the idea of babies given circumcisions, I can't abide genetic tailoring by a person internationally decried as an unethical practitioner doing things in secret just to stoke his ego to make him the first, bypassing the incredibly necessary ethical safeguards that the industry enforces against themselves.
I don't want him to be able to do what he did in the way that he did it because the way that he did what he did allows for monstrosities to be committed in the name of advancing science at any cost with no thought to potential lifelong unknowable direct consequences in the people being treated.
I don't have an anti-genetic editing slant, I don't think the goal is bad.
