The fairy twins born with gene editing

There is debate around the world on the possibility of creating 'Designer Baby' with genetic editing. This process, which is contrary to the natural creation, concerns morality. While this debate, the Chinese researchers took up this experiment. Early infants who were genetically modified were reported to have been mentally abused. He said that the 'blueprint' of life was used as a rewinding tool. This is a big improvement in science while it is diagnosed.

He was trained by a scientist at the University of Southern University of Science and Technology at Jenquave, Shenzhen. The American professor Michael Dei was supported. According to the Jaikway article, seven couples have made genetic changes in embryos as part of their parenting success. As a result, only one woman was pregnant and gave birth to twin babies. Her details are kept confidential. However, no one has verified the independence of Jiangquai. Genghis will officially reveal his findings at a seminar on genome editing beginning Thursday in Hong Kong. The fairy twins born with gene editing

What is genetic editing?

All genes are related to the genes. Scientists have discovered a few years ago, making it easier to add and edit (editing) the 'crisper-cass9' tool. It can be used to add the required gene but to disrupt the problematic gene.

* Recently, it has experimented with adults for the treatment of dangerous diseases. But those changes are limited to the person.

* In contrast, sperm, ova or embryos are edited. These changes will be inherited from subsequent generations.

* These experiments are not permitted in humans in America except for experimentation, as these transitions can lead to future generations and have a risk of harming other genes. China also banned human cloning. But China does not specifically restrict genetic editing.

Recantation ..

Controversies from scientists have been heard on the latest gene editing. Kiran Musunuru, Genetic Editing Expert of the University of Pennsylvania said that this is not reasonable and morally unfair. If this editing worked, there would be a risk of contracting infections from other viruses such as West Nile, Flu and those who do not have normal CTR5 genes. There are a number of ways to prevent HIV, questioning how these infections with other viruses are serious and prevent them. The experiment is very immature, says researcher Erich Topol, a researcher at Scripps Research Institute in California. However, Harvard University Genetics scientist George Church said that it is justified to use genetic editing to combat HIV. Jiangquai accepted his experiment as controversial. But he said that genetic surgeries are needed to eradicate diseases, so he is ready to face criticism. Gene editing is intended to be used for the treatment of diseases rather than designer babies.

How did it

The latest experiment intention is not a cure for hereditary diseases. In the future, it is naturally designed to prevent the ability to prevent HIV infection from infecting.

* All men who have opted for this experiment have HIV for men. Not for women. The disease in men is suppressed with HIV medications.

* However, the procedures that prevent this disease from being infected to their offspring are already available. There is no need to change the genes. It is intended to provide a child that is not infected in the future.

* AIDS-causing the protein that allows the HIV virus to be inserted into a cell is formed by a gene CTR5. Jiangquai decided to weaken it.

* Initially the sperm was separated from sperm. It was inserted and fertilized in an embryo. In this order, the fetus added genetic editing tool.

* In total, 16 embryos have been edited for 22 embryos. 11 embryos were introduced into the woman's womb. One of them succeeded, and the woman was pregnant. She was born in the month of twin girls. They named Lulu, Nana. Both are healthy.

* There are two diaphragms related to the gene in the transition to a baby. There is only one other child. There is no evidence that other genes may be harmed. HIV is a threat to only one each. But their health is slowly deteriorating.
