On the surface, the practice could sound like a potential solution to a myriad of health problems facing the planet. Human gene editing would allow us to create “designer babies” by editing out undesirable strands of DNA. Supporters of the technique say it would allow future generations to be born without genetic predispositions to Alzheimer’s disease. [1]
Earlier this year in China, researchers reported they had used a gene-editing technique called CRISPR to modify an aberrant gene that causes an inherited, life-threatening blood disorder known as beta thalassaemia. The scientists utilized IVF embryos from obtained from fertility clinics. (They were not implanted in women following the experiment.)
