And we have this from Science Alert (.com)
Uh oh...
30 MAY 2017
"It's been hailed as one of the most potentially transformative inventions in modern medicine, bringing the prospect of designer babies closer than any other technology to date, but CRISPR-Cas9 could be riskier than we thought.
The technology that could spark a gene-editing revolution has been caught introducing hundreds of unintended mutations into the genome, and with scientists already testing it in humans, it's set off some serious alarm bells."
Quoting: WHITE GLOVES This is not a good idea, IMO. :nod: Agreed. Some many shall be sacrificed at the altar of "science". Notice the article does NOT tell us exactly what the mutations are...in my layman's terms. I don't have to be a scientist to know that an eyeball on a baby's hip is not a good thing.
