The Canadian entrepreneur has always pushed the boundaries of gene editing, once attempting to turn horses into unicorns. Now she is set on modifying human embryos – something her controversial ex-husband was jailed for doing
Of course it did. The person who did it was jailed in China.
It is illegal to genome edit with federal funding in the US, but it is legal in private companies, because you can do anything for profit in the US.
I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t been happening already. Maybe I just watched too much Fringe and Orphan Black.
I would be honestly suprised if it wasn’t already happening. Probably has been for a few decades if you have enough money and the right connections.

A Chinese couple paid a guy to gene edit their embryos so the babies were resistant to HIV.
Did the editing cause other off target effects? who knows.
