My Way News - Gene editing: Research spurs debate over promise vs. ethics
My Way News reports: "The hottest tool in biology has scientists using words like
revolutionary as they describe the long-term potential: wiping out
certain mosquitoes that carry malaria, treating genetic diseases like
sickle-cell, preventing babies from inheriting a life-threatening
disorder.
It may sound like science fiction, but research into genome editing is
booming. [...]
Does the promise warrant experimenting with human embryos? Researchers
in China already have, and they're poised to in Britain."
