Seeker's Thoughts: The Ethics of Genetic Engineering and Designer Babies: Navigating the Fine Line Between Progress and Peril

Introduction: A Brave New World?In 2018, Chinese scientist He Jiankui shocked the world by announcing the birth of the first genetically edited babies—twin girls allegedly resistant to HIV. The backlash was swift: scientists condemned the experiment as reckless, governments called for stricter regulations, and ethicists warned of a slippery slope toward "designer babies."Yet, this was just the beginning.With breakthroughs like CRISPR-Cas9, IVF g…He Jiankui Read Article

Rogue Scientist Who Gene-Hacked Human Babies Gear Up for More Human Experiments

Coverage: 2 sources

That rogue scientist who created HIV-resistant designer babies is apparently gearing up for more human gene-editing research. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, He Jiankui said he wants to conduct human trials on his next big project: encoding genetics to prevent Alzheimer's disease, a heritable illness, in future generations. He identified South Africa, where the government declared in 2024 that it's open to the "significant potentia…He Jiankui See the Story

Gene editing with adeno-associated virus vector offers hope for hereditary deafness

An R75W mutation in the gap junction β2 (GJB2) gene causes severe fragmentation of gap junction plaques, connecting adjacent cells and leading to syndromic hearing loss. In a new experimental study, scientists from Juntendo University in collaboration with researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated genome editing approach to repair the R75W mutation.He Jiankui See the Story
