Why is this disgraced and denounced genome-editing ethics-lacking guy being spammed so fucking much
That’s what I’m wondering. I’m also wondering why he’s tweeting what he’s tweeting.
Is it him tweeting or someone posing as him?
That's the real account. The joke account is Jiankui Him.
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.
He intentionally dodged ethical review and the law, the consent forms he had the parents' sign obfuscated the nature of the treatment, the experimental treatment offered no benefit over the currently used treatment to prevent HIV transmission from the father (sperm washing), the parents likely only agreed because the law prevented them from having biological children (IVF isn't available to HIV+ patients in China), the high risk of modifying non-target genes was well known, and the gene he introduced is believed to be linked to neurological differences.
I just checked, it’s all from the same account.
What's this guy doing on my feed so often lately? Did he just get out of prison or are these old pics
He was out of jail in 2022 according to the Wiki
this guy has a wiki?
All the posts are from the same account.
Hey OP! Why you posting this shithead so much? You get dropped on your head too many times and forgor?
