dude is crazy one of the biggest problems with crispr is creating perfect guide rna so that the crispr

system doesn’t run around trying to modify all dna sequences that are slightly similar off targets are the
biggest problem and could cause huge issues this shit doesn’t seem right to me

good work

let's be honest people early or late some arrogant and self-centered scientist would do something like
this let's hope this don't backfire us in the future

greatest news i want to do this work its amazing scene in technology and biosciences

happy birthday gene surgery

this is amazing keep up the great work

please submit your paper to arxiv or vixra so we can have a closer look to your research

please watch this video first revolutionary phenotype spawns in china

i am fully support your actions about this i may cause controversies at first but over time people will
understand that the life is changing so does the diseases and this medical treatment will come in front
to prevent any of this diseases keep up the good work sir

this is neo nazi eugenics shame on the people whom he works for and is an agent of and who are his
pay masters shame on all of you hypocrites who secretly support him and his eugenics

people are acting like this is some crazy breakthrough all he did was radically perform a premature but
already known and developed surgery on embryos that just happened to survive through the pregnancy

all the comments down here complaining about how this experiment is not a technological
breakthrough but a shameful act are just other researchers who are salty about the fact the some other
scientist did this achievement before all the suckers in the scientific community

we have been trying to defeat nature for long time we make our bodies immune to diseases we
genetically modify our food we play with nuclear energy to generate electricity and destroy other
human beings don’t tell me how this experiment is wrong if you think then attempt to make human
species better than who we are is somehow wrong go live in a cave

if this is true i'm gonna be excited as in ancient times a person made this special glass that could not be
easily broken and could be reshaped easily he presented it to a king but was put to death not long after
humanity lost many great innovations to greed and selfishness don’t let it happen again

maybe just maybe if you solved a real world problem a very dangerous disease that could affect
everyone like cancer maybe you would be doing something useful but how did you think that this could
be beneficial for humanity working on a gene that we are not 100 sure that it has other useful roles
editing it without knowing that this change would affect any other physiological process and most
importantly as a scientist did you think of the consequences these girls will grow up have relationships
get pregnant and have babies are you sure that genome editing wouldn't affect future generations okay
they fine but what about their children their grandchildren science isn't a game you must have morals
while experiencing on animals and you're doing it on humans
plus we're not even sure we didn't even saw the protocol followed we don't even know if the parents
are aware of the whole situation it can be all fake if not i really hope it wouldn't have any negative
consequences

wouldn’t an hla-b27 vaccine be safer and more effective anyway we already know the deleterious risks
associated in those who are hla-b27 like sero-negative auto inflammatory disorders and could work
those out i thought we were pretty close to having a viable hiv vaccine same for hep c and i don’t mean
that expensive pill non progressors and self clearers already exist hla-b27 people can often make
antibodies to these pathogens that are dangerous for others isn’t that where we got the first
inoculations anyway from those who survived viruses and had immunity then there’s hla-b50 as well
now i don’t presume to know how to deal with people who have these antigens still being vectors for
other pathogenesis i.e. typhoid mary but universal vaccination seems obvious

it's interesting in the comment section most chinese ppl are complaining about how dr he ruined
chinese researchers' reputation in the world but ironically foreigners are cheering for he's experiment
guess who are the ones truly ruining chinese researchers' image it's those who complain in the first
place

we love you china

fantastic

this is absolutely wrong and unethical

i support designer babies however i believe this procedure should have been delayed for at least several
more years the field is extremely new

no matter what time of human history there will be always those who oppose to the progress

as someone who is hiv 25 years and counting my hat is off to you heal the world one gene edit at a time
godspeed

heart in the right place still wrong hope those babies live long healthy lives and i do hope it works the
way they planned

i'm excited about the future of genome editing i'm sure this will help many families

it's hard to hear all the negativity from paranoid people that do not know how many issues we can
change with this technology but yet it is predictable

i hope to be a part of this wonderful research when i finish studying one day

i think its great he took a risk with this because someone had to do it was either the west do it or
somebody else what a genius this is a huge breakthrough in medical science of course the chinese would
shun him they are way to caught up on what the west thinks of them it's a shame the chinese lack the
confidence to fully support this man and his accomplishment are there any asians out there that actually
support him

publish the bam files you can't make the claim 'safe' without 3rd party validation

i don't think you're giving us our due credit our scientists have done which nobody's ever done before
yeah but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to
think if they should

you wanna be pissed about something save it for then the kids disappear or have an accident cause its
guna happen too much money is made not curing sicknesses and this proves it can be done

this is the future of better humans than our ancestors evolution it's starting to be in our own hands to
create humans stronger and better

disgusting chinese

one thing that has to be kept in mind is that we as humans have overcome evolution fortunately
nowadays we can overcome many lethal diseases and the affected patients can live a happy live this also
means that people with genetic diseases can reproduce and pass on their genes here i'm not talking
about severe genetic diseases i'm talking about mostly harmless diseases like diabetes psoriasis
neurodermitis and many more the problem is that over the course of the next 10-15 generations these
diseases will be passed on and sum up i think crispr gene editing is inevitable for us as a species

thank you for doing this i'm just so proud that anybody had the courage to do this next step on a way to
a better life for all human beings i hope the rest of the world may understand that this is just as
important as inventing the wheel or whatever great inventions one might take for comparison i just wish
you the best for all the trouble which is going to come now because some people seem not to
understand the importance of this experiment again thank you for taking all the responsibilities and
opening up the path for further developments in this field

i sometimes feel public opinion is very much engineered and manipulated-far from natural genome
editing is a good start-however should be used more carefully (technically sound) for good reasons
rather than publicity or fame to prevent hiv-aids in yet to be born humans not justified intra
cytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) plus heart would have been sufficient to prevent transmission to
babies however the furor of the media scientists (especially the chinese scientists) seems to be hyper-
engineered and fake think how many people are dying in wars we still employ soldiers-to kill and get
killed major religions have killed more people be logical

people in the comments are not hiv patients so they won't understand

he said it himself he knew his work would have created controversy however in the good hands this can
save the human race just shows you how far along we have gotten in technology and science but seeing
the comment section how primitive and held back we are as a race

thanks for taking this step we are exited to see your progress

oh he is disappear now who know why is guilty maybe illuminates maybe kill them because it could save
many lives still so i hope he is

we must mix a camel genes in saudi arabia to make a better generation instead of legs hoves to be more
stronger

so as far as i know when a women with hiv has children they have hiv as well but from what i could read
in the comment sections is that when a men with hiv has children they don’t have hiv is this correct
 so my question now is if the guy marc could have healthy children without hiv why did this chinease
scientist do that gen modification it doesn’t make sense to me can someone explain thanks )

get a peer reviewed paper published then i'll believe this idiotic pr stunt most likely this is a hack fraud
just like everyone else who ever claimed this shit

1 big problems on human race rights and ethics really big

2 the reputation of chinese researchers is now very heavily damaged all of it

3 hey maybe we should consider about isolate all chinese in our country born from nov 2018 because of
potential dna pollution

and his altitude on this immediately reminds me of the nazi massacre and 731 troops during sino-
japanese war from 1937

(to people who think this may increase iq 1 genes do not work like computer software it is not 1-to-1
related 2 i don’t think you are rich enough to do this in your current life suckers)

as a scientist researching gene therapy and neuroscience i must point out that iq enhancement by gene
editing is not effective for normal healthy humans iq is determined by the environment as a child's brain
adapts to processing whatever challenges ('stimuli') it is provided with for example an environment filled
with science and puzzles and little social interaction will inevitably cause a (healthy) child to become
very adept at processing abstract information at the expense of social skills optimization of stimuli is the
only way to create a 'genius'

and if this is real the babies are healthy (as confirmed by (presumably) post-natal wgs) if this is fake then
the controversy is even more meaningless

the beginning of the end is here

wtf why is everyone so pissed off so they essentially made the first hiv immune babies in the world or
am i wrong what's bad about that

soon this will become militarized and then genome soldiers lol

good job mister this was something that couldn't have been prevented because it had to eventually
happen the world is like this and someone had to do it someone had to be brave if no one was brave we
wouldn't have many of the technology we have now we would still be stuck in the past

are you telling the truth

we heard similar whining with the first ivf experiment in the '80s go ahead and make some difference

you are going to prison

this is unethical you are making mutants and meddling with the gene pool
don’t fool yourself in the future we will create own babies on displays

who live in past and present are certain to miss the future

we have no idea how this will work it can be good or it can be catastrophic

my fear is that the elite take advantage of this

such an incredible discovery and this scientist is now missing

you are fool no morality of chinese

what happened to him

that man is a hero this is the future d

wait so in a future could be eradicated all illness i mean cancer hiv all disorders but what cost

it would move the world dude not like the petroleum

congratulations you have taken a huge leap not being afraid of the controversial talk and making a stand
you have paved a way for humanity

good work i hope this plays out well

we know china does not care about human life - they will keep doing this even if this particular scientist
is stopped

ignoring the moral aspect & that those children never had a chance to decide about their own bodies
and the consequences

this was not necessary at all he could have wash the hiv from the sperm that way the possibility to infect
the children would be reduced to a minimum hiv is a disease that can be treated nowadays instead he
changed the genome without knowing the consequences

plus he didn't release any scientifical proof for his work i hope those children will not have any negative
side effects in case that this truly happened

if we decide to go forward with improving the human genome which i partly think is an ok thing to do
but with emphasis on removing hereditary diseases then we need to make sure that we don't apply an
one size fits all

we survive disease and other natural disasters by virtue of our very different genetic make up survival of
the fittest and all if we one day all have more or less the exact same core gene engine then we're all
susceptible to mass extinction (Darwin evolution)

oh no nature will finally beat you

while the west waste time with gender studies china creates super babies

i can't wait for the day for all you sheeple masses to die out and be replaced by the genetically superior

well done mr he you're going to change our human beings destiny although ppl don’t understand it now
but will recognize your contributions in the future
it's sad to see your website blocked or non-responsive when will you publish your work on lulu and
nana in a peer-reviewed journal

this scares the doo-doo out of a lot of people because it looks like you're overriding god nature overall it
sounds wonderful but do you have permission from god

human need him because he opened door to terraform mars

the new human who have edit gene can live in mars

nice job

gataca

this was extremely irresponsible everyone knew about the potential of crispr but the majority are
playing by the hidden rules and approaching it more ethically all the consequences and possible domino
effects have to be understood before we can start human experimentation this guy got impatient and
wanted to be in the history books so he went balls deep without thinking i know a lot of people are in
support of what this guy did but i doubt most of them have ever taken a biology or genetics course there
are so many consequences we can not foresee associated with this i can only pray that these girls will
live a normal life the way i see it the world is now watching these girls every step if anything goes wrong
with them caused by the gene editing it will be a blow to crisprs progress because they’re going to slap
on strict rules you cant just ignore ethics in favor of progress you have to consider both or were no
better than the nazis

this is horrible pandoras box has been opened

i´m angry within the limit of my ethical knowledge today i suppose that i wont be angry with it if i would
have a new ethical mind 2 just as the heliocentrism secularization the disappear of aristocracy etc the
majority of the people in their time wouldn’t allow these phenomenal change but there should be
somebody doing it in spite of criticism

perhaps the rush to be first is more short-sighted arrogance than anything else plenty of people know
how to do this including the people that invented it at harvard berkley and a handful of other labs
including one in shanghai the issue wasn't that it couldn't be done but should it be done it is a very
different thing playing with a child who has no say in how they will be born and working with an adult
that can give consent plus there is no consideration of the additional generations this experiment
affects there is so much we don't know about our dna and the collateral damage this technique may
cause to other genes that are dormant but we may need in human kind's future evolution

there’s always going to be raised brows for changes if this was 20 years ago people would probably be
arguing the ethics and morals of having internet and info sharing

this is like a noob programming in c that strands of code is not going to be perfect the first time around
too bad you won't be able to debug it it's now alive in production

you did something amazing easy but amazing these studies on humans is the future and should be
allowed

this guy took one for the team

ok what the hell will their children (if the babies have them) also be immune to hiv natural selection is
good don’t screw it up

good good now bring dinosaurs back to life i want a real jurassic park

i think his intentions were morally okay like he said this was to prevent a disease not to make designer
babies however it could still lead to designer babies in the future i knew it was only a matter of time
before someone actually gene edited a human and we must deal with the implications instead of just
pushing it away as if it will never happen

those who have been closely following all the latest news about anthropogenic climate disruption (acd)
effects and the reinforcing feedback loops that are kicking in may understand that we are careening into
abrupt climate change and a 6th mass extinction event as a result all children born recently are unlikely
to live past their teens billions of the world's 77 billion people are living in a profound state of denial
regarding this future that is understandable given that our minds are configured to protect us from such
devastating thoughts

the mother was not infected with hiv the gene-editing was done on healthy human embryo and is illegal
it makes healthy humans as experimental animals to benefit other populations the edited gene and
vehicle should be prohibited to pass onto next generation

this man is pushing us into the future and he should be applauded for it not shouted at on the internet
by a bunch of twats

this will end humanity you doomed us all

i have a deeply empathy for couples contaminated by hiv but your behavior lacked quite a lot of full
consideration and is therefore becoming a serious controversial topic ivf should not be the unique way
for hiv prevention actually caesarean section is also a healthy and safety way for a baby to be born
without hiv infection i am sorry that your neglection about human ethics has caused such a wide range
of criticism hope you good luck in the future next time before you make any other decision you'd better
take a detailed discussion with your workmates and authorized experts so that your can draw a more
persuasive conclusion

disgusting chinese dogs shame for all of humanity pathetic shitfaces disgraceful and without honor like
in their entire history

wow i'm going to go against the grain here and say what a massive step forward for humanity to take
(effectively) our evolution into our own hands i don't believe we should deny our selfs a useful tool
based on what someone might do with it however yes whether or not there will be other ramifications
to the children for this remains to be seen time will tell but if it has prevented them from ending up with
hiv surely this is a good thing for them

most chinese feel ashamed because drhe broke the ethical borderline but many public outside china
seems pretty excited about this and sees him as a brave hero i wonder why this contrast

congratulation for taking this brave step many people oppose editing the human genome for various
reasons and while i understand that there is a certain risk involved not knowing the long-term
consequences of the therapy yet somebody has to take the first step i too agree that we should only use
it to cure diseases with it and not create designer babies with it but somebody someday with enough
money will do that anyway

so let's not get discouraged by that now if that's morally questionable think about the fact that people
are knowingly bringing disabled children to this world which is just as questionable imo at least i
wouldn't wanna do that to a child if it's preventable but i also have nothing against disabled people i just
say if it can prevented it should be

so this is how the future starts lovely imagine genetically improved superhumans fighting a war against
ai exciting times ahead of us

i don't want to debate if the gene-editing on the embryos that later developed to lulu and nana is ethical
or not but i do want to ask dr he to give an example of any well defined genetic disease that can not be
prevented by means other than gene-editing in other word with what genetic disease that a couple can
not have a healthy baby without gene editing

lucky for him because if he disclosed his experiments before he would be stopped by the so-called ethics
board and the regulatory government and we would not have those babies scientists are really jealous
and big pharma is really upset at this giant leap of mankind

as a fellow human i am proud

i always fail to understand why scientists and people alike favor randomness over decision making what
is so wrong about having a baby free of disease with superior athletic abilities intelligence and features
why would it be wrong to be like that yourself it is ok that lebron james is athletically superior than any
other basketball player because its a random occurrence but it wouldn't be ok if it was designed ugh
people

i know this is controversial and that using crispr to modify dna has multiple side effects however i
believe the intention of this project was just what he said giving not-so-healthy parents the chance to
have healthy babies he said he checked the infants' genome after birth and the rest of their dna was just
as it should be of course i would want to look at some actual scientific prove that he in fact modified
their genome and the babies are hiv resistant he could be making up the whole thing but if he in fact
succeeded with this process i don't see anything wrong as long as the babies are healthy and as long as
the process was the done with the consent of everybody involved

absolutely horrible thing to do very selfish very dangerous this is not how science should be done you
may have set back such a promising research for decades by doing this stunning lack of judgement

this is amazing keep up this fantastic work

fucking idiot shame on you is an underated statement

does anyone else think that this is becoming man made evolution i cannot say if it is right or wrong time
will tell i hope that this is the right step into the future cause i myself believe that genetic engineering is
the way forward

yes all the evil acts in the world are all under the name of good just like some county have no down
syndrome because abortion s was used to kill them all god will intervene soon
the funny thing is that the guy knew about the papers on supermemory mice with the deleted ccr5 gene
the edit was made not only to make the children immune to hiv it was partially done to make some sort
of supermemory superhumans

this is beautiful doctor he you should be proud i don't see how what you did is any different than any
other experimental surgery hiv is such a blight on so many will see this and fear for the worst but i hope
others can eventually appreciate what you are doing

your a visionary i don't care what others say about if this is ethical or not in time this will become the
norm what you have done is just the first stepping stone to what will be our future

this technology is both promising & extremely scary

my full support

they will tell you anything to get away with this crime they have no right messing with gods work at this
point we literally are guinea pigs remind anyone of nazi scientists anyone

its 2018 who cares what pope thinks is ethical or not i am more surprised that commies punished this
scientist for doing good work i hope that in near future well be able to choose gender eye color physical
traits people would pay well some traits should be more expensive allowed only with those with higher
social credit i mean which parent would like to take care for bad random product for 18 years

how dare this thug in disguise of a scientist stole the genes of twin girls without their consent

he should be damned

there are many genes that will be safely improved for overall health rather than relying on the magical
thinking of random mutation russian roulette

well done he you are a pioneer and should have nothing but praise unfortunately the world is full of
brainless technophobes who should just crawl back into their paleolithic caves your point about the
fearmongering around the first ivf is spot on fearmongering from the ludites has been a mainstay for
centuries online streaming replacing television replacing radio replacing live performance automobiles
replacing horses and many more examples some people are just so ignorant that progress scares them
perhaps one day machine will replace man and we will finally be rid of these dumb cunts for good hang
in there though these dumb masses tend to move onto whatever next in fashion controversy is available
quite quickly

go china everything in medicine we enjoy today is a result of someone suffered in past no pain no gain
we need to cross the lines and extend the boundary to move forward in the development of human

horrible scientist with a horrible accent such a pain to listen to it

my god in heaven what have you done you are not god i pity you when you have to answer to the
almighty god for what you have done have mercy on your soul

this is a day for great joy the fear and anger i see in people reminds me of when people used to think
that a camera would steal your soul if they took your picture with it there is nothing to fear and this is
the first step in trans-humanism and metamorphosis
this is scientific and ethical misconduct you should not only lose whatever credentials universities have
awarded you but you should potentially face serious personal penalties as well did you truly provide
these parents with informed consent this wasn't research intended to actually benefit the patients was
that clearly explained to the parents or did you influence their decision making by suggesting that
somehow this would help their children did you explain all the potential negative impacts of the process
when faced with an off target mutation did you seek independent consultation with clinical geneticists
to determine it was unlikely to impact the potential child or did you just make that decision on your own
(with all of the bias involved in your decision making) and present that information to the family

there are so many ethical pitfalls here it is truly frightening not to mention your clear desire for publicity
and attention

i think i love you

you are psycho lab rat

i'm almost a little sorry for the guy though the international and even the chinese scientists' consensus is
that this was wrong even his university distanced itself from the project he kind of ruined himself didn't
he

a great step for humanity no more pain and suffering from illness

it's easy to find out you just have to take a dna sample from the babies and test whether the gene is
changed

for those who believed his statement of 'no other mutation' there's one thing that you failed to notice
on the hong kong summit he admitted that his sequencing method is imperfect and only 80 of genome
was sequenced due to technical limitations what about the rest 20 he didn't know as a biology student
myself i strongly support researches and applications of crisprcas9 to make it a better more reliable tool
so that we may cure more diseases and benefit the human race in the future not now with so many
issues to deal with

roguish irresponsible and no respect of life and science the research has badly violated academic
integrity i am wondering if you are aware about you maybe prosecuted for this selfish action and if you
dare to face the justice this is a total of illegal medical practice

technically approved(no so sure) morally condemned(definitely sure) poor lulu and nana

so instead of letting the people who are more genetically disposed to sleeping around not being careful
thus getting hiv and naturally eliminating themselves from the gene pool you would rather encourage
their behavior and even give them increased resistance to these diseases do you even think about the
long term consequences that this will leave on the society

goddamn chinese people

it's a great news about gene therapy

one more question when are you doing other desires like muscular dystrophy i'm also a muscular
dystrophy patent
as a chinese i feel shamed of this freak experiment is frankenstein reborn in china

maybe you could use crispr to add ethics genes to chin and han people as well or maybe set the
telomeres to 25 either would be good

trust me if you master this skills they'll come calling for help

a pioneer

the word they repeat all the time is ethics what does that word mean to them is it okay to leave things
as they are that the human being is always condemned to a lot of diseases that occur at random that are
inherited that are contagious these people have ever been sick what are you afraid of i bet you do not
even know well the real risks that gene editing can bring it's just an irrational religious fear residual
religiosity

the nucleus of the discourse against the genetic editing in humans of these people is similar to that of
the anti-vaccines the christians burned the library of alexandria we must not allow these people to
restrain humanity

this is such an awesome kernel patch

this is progress

your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they never stopped to think if they
should

it might have been done and i've just missed it but why wasn't this done as a mouse model first

mrhe i have to say that your lab is successful because you let the foreigners know that there are no
more ethics and moral in chinese scientists eyes without the benefits from the lab i have one more
question how can i work in science as a bastard and idiot like you stop challenging the underline of
human please thank you very much

dr he claimed before returning lulu and nana to graces womb we checked how the gene surgery went by
whole genome sequencing the results indicated the surgery worked safely as intended graces pregnancy
was normal which we monitored closely by ultrasounds and blood tests after birth we again deep
sequenced lulu and nanas whole genomes this verified the gene surgery worked safely no gene was
changed except the one to prevent hiv infection

as far as i know (sorry i am not a specialist in this field so i might have misunderstood) the whole
genome sequencing to find one nucleotide change requires substantial numbers of cells to normalize
the mis-reading of the sequence how can he get such substantial number of embryonic cells before
returning the embryo into mothers body

and what was the reference genome to check if there are potential changes of the sequence

the story of prometheus

mark and grace are probably high up communist party members with a ton of money they can use to
buy researchers experimental procedures and any government regulators in china that care to stand in
the way it's not the wild west friends it's the wild east if there's anything you don't understand in this
story just remember people operate thru ignorance greed and egotism

i strongly approve of this as it benefits future generations because they will not need to worry about as
many diseases or debilitating illnesses thus improving the human race

jiankui new national hero

wow the beginning of the super race

these babies you so cheerfully rant about are nothing more than a science experiment monsters and
should be treated as such

you beat the nature we are no longer slaves of nature i see this as a astonishing achievement and soon
human race will no longer suffer from natures mistakes(bad mutation) i think governments should
allocate funds to this research rather than cry out about ethics long live gene editing

don't freak out about some dramatic westerns what you did is great and should be legally imposed for
the benefit of humanity

i hope other countries will gene edit their next generations genes to prevent gun violence alcoholism
smoking cigarettes greeds( special one for rich people) n above all racism religious fanaticism n wasteful
energy consumption

keep strong chine you have a great potential for humanists whit this don’t let the ignorant attack you
these people who called herself moral and ethic they prefer the human sick they are pathetic don't let
them win

are you saying that this is a shame are you telling me that you are against healing for diseases are you
saying that people must suffer diseases to be ethical are you saying that people should suffer diseases to
make it a business in this world in search of medicines shame i should give to you for not wanting
healthy humans you prefer that humans syfran diseases hipocrita and come to talk about ethics you
prefer that humans are sick and do not put yourself in the shoes of those who suffer diseases that they
have no cure and they use them to get money out of medicines that is not ethical and you come to say
that what he did is wrong you have serious mental problems

don’t take these comment seriously today i have a discussion in english lesson on this topic and it's
surprising that most of us are in approval of

his research should be destroyed and his name removed from list of scientists license revoked then go
to jail

this is amazing technology to cure people of hereditary disease that they are born with due to gene
mutations thus giving those people an equal shot at a healthy life just as other people doctors work hard
every day to cure people of other non-genetic problems too however it must be strictly regulated to
prevent abuse of the technology to use it for non-therapeutic reasons such as changing eye color height
strength etc. for example i would love to see it be used to fix gene mutations that cause blindness at
birth so that person can enjoy their life and equalize them with others i would not like to see it be used
to create babies with an advantage over others though
a lot of triggered mulsi-christ welcome to the future

as a chinens i am shame of the people who fell shame of he jiankui

next step make us immune to diseases

this is literally the most brain-fucked thing people would do to be famous

you show off here just to let those cannot do that in their country to buy yours in shenzhen like organ
farm in china shameless

this was an inevitable application of gene editing technology if these girls mature and maintain healthy
and stable dna it'll be clear that the gene editing of embryos will be commonplace in the future or at
least practiced widely in secrecy those who are rendered unfit by genetic deformity could have a chance
at having fit normal children through this technology so though i don't think that this was the most
ethical way to conduct this study i know the outcome of it will be a crucial scientific advancement

bravo we need more brave scientists to get rid of the diseases that cripple humanity if the world doesn't
shoot this down maybe we'll conquer cancer within the next century

i think it is a good thing this is the future and if we invest in gene editing then we can stop defects more
effectively also if it causes defects in the future couldn't we invest in fixing those with this same process i
think we should legalize crispr because if we don't we can't regulate it and then people will go off and
illegally experiment when if it is legal we can safely do it in a lab this is the future and i am proud to be
apart of this time period where we can fix problems gene by gene

i am quite indecisive whether this could be the dawn of a utopian (i.e. fatal trait removal ethical
enhancement) or a dystopian (eg auxley's brave new world's alpha beta epsilon castes) society for
humankind possibly somewhere between the two extremes but it's both inspiring and frightening

if this experiment continues i feel like there will be lots of new born babies that born with mutant in the
future

this is the start of a new type of humans we will evolve ourselfs and this is going to happen we can't stop
it we can slow it down but we can not stop it we will modify children to have higher iq stronger faster
live longer better looking this will happen and this is just the start

he said in an other video we told the parents that there was a risk involved that the baby's would suffer
from side effects but the parents were willingly to take that risk

but how can you as a parent or scientist take that decision

why don't they ask the baby's first they would have to live with those side effects

chinese always ignore human rights

my advice for people is stop acting like animals and you won't have to deal with stds

i detest his innocent speech style in describing his actions he was and is fully aware of the unknown
consequences for these girls but also aware of the financial rewards for himself this is not a path
humans should take and the possibilities should be clear to everyone what's next
they made them twins on purpose these two girls are nothing but tests subject for future experiments

well done this is the future part of mankind has always feared and opposed new technologies we have a
huge potential here

good job

whether or not he has done something beneficial is beside the point he is acting in a renegade fashion
ignoring guidelines set by both chinese and international regulatory organizations and this is something
that definitely needs to be regulated as it can potentially affect all humans present and future

it's good

in japan heart surgeon number one steady hand one day yakuza boss need new heart i do operation but
mistake yakuza boss die yakuza very mad i hide in fishing boat come to america no english no food no
money darryl give me job now i have house american car and new woman darryl save life my big secret i
kill yakuza boss on purpose i good surgeon the best

neat

i agree this is a huge step but did you consider possible consequences lets assume we accept to ban hiv
this way this would lead to a monopoly of certain probably even patented and therefore depending on a
corporation variant of this gene if then humanity faces a disease which uses a bug(as for software) in the
sequence of this variant to infect bye bye humanity in short everything which decreases humanities
genom diversity is a real threat to humanities survival and your experiments are opening exactly this
door for sure your research is not doing this directly but when humanity especially its elites handles this
one as irresponsible as other new techs bye humanity you really should stick with mice even i'm glad for
this two girls to be able to live a normal life as far it is possible as the first designer baby and a world
knowing about remember the western europeans and the american tribes being different could be a
problem only educated people know that you just gave them an in europe often observed residency

china is like a blend of africa and europe high scientific competence and poor respect for human rights

nice work and well done fortunately human dna programming (editing) is inevitable )) remove religious
guilty gene trashes i'm still believe in darwin's second coming

superb job and nobel prize goes tolol

shame on you

thank you drhe for this breakthrough the singularity is here

i respect his work this man is doing the right thing but it is dangerous

what that different from you waiting for evolution from your natural and random mutation gene
changes happens all the time without human supervision and control

as a chinese i think this scientist is total madness

that dude life is fucked but imo he is a hero i know and understand most of reasons for restricting
genetic engineering and don't care about any of them because 99 of it is on religious and moral ground
i.e. meaningless from scientific point of view i think it is immoral to restrict research because certain
groups of people are against it

as long as all people involved in the research do it on free will basis with full understanding of
consequences i have zero problem with genetic engineering performed on humans

if the babies survive (which i hope deeply) and are able to have their children all of their descendants
will have the edited genomes who gave you the power to make such a decision the girls parents the girls
or the descendants if you wanted to edit a human genome edit yourself you’re such an asshole

he bring bad reputation to all chinese scientists

shame on you

gene editing is not surgery stop spreading lies

is it a breakthrough or not want hear from someone really understands biology

this is a beginning of a new era and it's great if true

put him in jail now other scientists can do the same but they wouldn't this fool is not a hero or smart
he's unethical and premature

you monsters how could you do that on human

how do you have right to edit the babies do they agree

how do chinese citizens feel about this

its a shame

and so the dark age of technology began a time of techno-barbarian kings and great interplanetary wars
hoist upon mankind for his prideful lust for power

with ai and other technology advancing so quickly i think the human race will not be the same again the
only good i see is that we won't have as many dumb people like trump supporters in the future i think
we will evolve into something else

i write codes and can fix the bugs later i wonder where this will go

why people are so offended about this it will happen either now or later it's only a question of time

some will cry foul now but it appears to be the future of medicine

this is all about profit at the expense of humanity leave nature alone

the gurrrr came crying so will the future of humans

gmo food is about editing the gene they had been editing fish gene for fish farm harvesting human
animals plants had been selecting gene by picking your spouse this had been done thousands of years
our rice we planted in india save hunger and famine save thousand of lives from starvation we had done
it in animals plants and eventually it will lead to humans
this is totally the wrong way to change people's view of hiv infected people this is totally wrong the
family could have healthy babies without this dangerous human experiment people need to know the
science that has advanced a lot about hiv what need to be changed it the people's attitude of hiv not to
modify genes for some stupid reason

there is nothing wrong with helping hiv infected parents to have hiv-free babies this guy is helping them
do that he should get nobel prize

chinese will do anything to be white like us

this is not ethical let nature take its path you should not be genetically modifying babies that is
something we do to fruits and vegetables not humans you don’t know what side effects this can cause
lulu and nana in the future

this will no doubt help many people and this is precisely the problem genetically modified people will
eventually out compete us making more and healthier children that then go on to do the same when we
finally are wiped out will whatever it is that replaces us even be considered human anymore compared
to us

china again takes the cake for unethical science there's a reason almost every civilized nation bans this
practice next they'll be editing genes to make people dissent-resistant

what a breakthrough without a warfare cheers for the new types and god bless our next gen

chinese government should protect this pioneer from narrow-minded westerners more funding support
experiments to stop diseases and prevent death this will save billions of people

i am not shocked by this incredible achievement i am shocked by the ignorant culture-based shock-
response - mostly from westerners

how is modifying genes to improve our species and prevent suffering possibly a bad thing you can
criticize for perhaps lack of safety-

precautions but most people here are condemning the very idea of humans designing their own dna this
baffles me to any rational

person surely genetic modification is a natural and highly logical step forward and in fact a moral
obligation if you can prevent a disease

sad to see scientific pioneers being witch hunted by conservatives reminds me of how the church
burned people who said earth isn't flat

you never saw gattaca did you

as usual you have anti-science innovation conservatives crying because they think humans shouldn't
play god they quote baby's long term health as concern but this is really just pretext these are same
people complaining about cloning and other innovative fields that can drastically change the world for
the better these are huge leaps for mankind and some people are not ready to accept change

its it true when clowning a plant over time the tree no longer have the same strength it would be
discarded how you see them apples
incredible in each and every bad way i hope someone gene edits him

who has the moral answer science was once the work of the devil smoking was once good for us birth
control was immoral and nuclear technology could never be used for good how many other morals have
changed once people got past their own fears

shame on you upholding such a superficial and shallow understanding about genetics you have broken
the bottom line of human moralities good for you to be one of the most notorious characters of human
history

he just want to get money from the country without any moral regulation and professional skill nothing
can change this crisis in china

my first time hoping a scientific research to be faked

can she pass that gene modification to the next generation

have you determined which one is the evil twin

everything about this is unwise

you basically crated aids babies who will and spread the disease and with no personal consequences

and of all the diseases to gene modify you choose aids it's a completely preventable disease

i also hate the appeal to emotions this is a decision that will effect all of humanity to say you care about
one family misfortune so much that you would change the course of all of humanity on earth for forever
at the risk of totally unforeseen consequences is at best childish if not out right stupid

nuke china before they kill us all

this guy is the shame of china

you should be arrested

burn this guy at the stake for heresy

this lunatic must be banned for life to do any research and application in this area

oh whatever everyone knew this was going to happen there is even many videos with no negative
remarks about how the future is editing genes in babies but now everyone is gasping my ass fake
outrage if you did not want this then should of never them make the technology to do it should of been
outraged at that hypocrites

this will be the death of us at first appearing like a gift

you did nothing wrong hopefully people can get over their backwards superstitions and recognize the
amount of suffering this will alleviate

i like the idea but actually we not know how it will evolve the problem is that technology enough safe to
prove it in humans now ok hurts said nana and lulu are now the lab rats does not matter someone must
be
if you are okay with the abortion of children because of syndromes like downs tay sachs or any other
genetic defect you should have no problems with this this is totally fine and we already opened the door
to gene editing the moment we decided it was okay to terminate pregnancies based on genetic
screenings just because it's china everyone is acting like this is unspeakable it's not this is where we are
eventually going

i keep reading about this pandora's box opens comments the box has been opened already when the
first experiments on the subject of gene editing and selection began this is only the next (faulty in this
case because of the big off target chance) step stop the horrible outcry as if the dude just doomed all of
humanity check on the girls stop the human trials with something that has this huge off target chance
and resume when you find something that is 100 precise simple as that no reason to think that every
scientist will now follow his lead we know that what he did could have gone horribly wrong (maybe it
still did) we ain't in the rush to repeat his mistakes the only outcry should be about the used faulty
method on the human test subjects

it's easy to deny everything that's nontraditional but hard to accept new and inspiring ideas

we will know in the future possibly around 3050 or even 100 years from now whether or not this guys
did the right thing

it is way too early to judge this guy at this point maybe in the future we'll be the ones getting criticized

either way i'm quite excited to see where this will go as i believe he did just open a new door for us

i think that is fine they're giving a way for have a healty life

all the chicken littles having spaz attacks over this once they have a loved one that has a disorder or
disease that can be fixed and made healthier with this technology the chicken littles will sing and dance
how great this is having the ability to cure and improve humanity is great at one point in time ivf and
organ transplants were considered immoral and inhumane now its part of everyday life advancements
will always be made and should be welcomed as long as testing has been done prior in this case it was
tested before

i hope latin-america follows china's footsteps we could create a caste of giants and use them to climb
trump's wall and then make an anime about it

zombie apocalypse here we go hope it all works out dr frankenstein

i hope you will arrested for a long time the nature do the right thing from germany

now they're going to colonize africa with aids resistant babies

we haven't learnt anything with tesla galileo the history repeats again

if true this is very dangerous and extremely unethical you don't have the right to permanently alter the
genetic makeup of humanity you don't deserve just criticism you deserve jail time

this is going to lead to the extinction of the human race we will be wiped out by these new and superior
successors i don't think it can be stopped though every species eventually goes extinct it will probably
only take a few thousand years from now
if true this is the beginning of something bigger and even worse

good job you’re brave for taking the next step in human advancement

shame on you you just created the revolutionary phenotype

nice now i'll be able to change the color of the eyes of my children congratulations to the scientists
involved in the project

is this how the zombie apocalypse starts

this is great news for humanity

am i dreaming or does that mean humankind has created the first transgenic human

please edit your next child to be immune from mental and moral retardation because you seem severely
affected by that and you call that a breakthrough lmao you did not invent crisprcas9 all you did was to
put the entire human ethic in jeopardy

let's see how many years you will stay in prison

am i the only one to approve his brave attempt

shame on you

shame shame shame

geez so many complainers but you have to start somewhere someone has to be the first

i think this is really important

i don’t have a problem with what they did but i am afraid what will follow if it works

super-humans with advanced genetics for the rich people

can you make a not crying baby please

the man may have defeated hiv he is a hero genetic engineering is the future

off target dna damage risk is way too high to have done this but that's me trying to be civil which in this
case i don't even need to because this is an inheritable trait and i strongly doubt these poor girls won't
develop serious complications later on also i just think of how much the parents must not have been
informed of the risk for them to have agreed how much were the parents told this is a big mess

congratulations mister he

this comment section is just a bunch of asperger’s

amazing beautiful

now do the same thing for hsv but in the context of completely eradicating it from the host preventing
any babies from even having a problem over 80 of humans are effected by this or a variation of this and
it causes just as many problems especially if both are together you wont live long
oh and also look into htlv-1aboriginal ancient aids a cousin of aids its basically aids its its just as bad and
spreading australia was going to attempt cure it but instead the 2nd war happened and i assume
politics and stupidity took care of the rest

sounds very reasonable what is everyone hating on about

what do you think about the revolutionary phenotype

i love the controversy in the comments these sort of conversations are really important in determining
which path humanity will take forward i believe the researcher is mostly well intentioned (although
obviously wants to go down in history) and that people are being a little too gunshy about crisp-cas9 but
i do think he's being extremely irresponsible by conducting this illegal experiment which is still a tad
early for humans hopefully it will go well and prompt more research into wiping out some crippling
diseases

tfw china replaces the entire human race with sentient bioweapons engineered to be subservient to the
government

hunting the wolf without wearing pants------bold and shameless

gene edit may be the future but now it is not safe enough

you have given a true genetic advantage to two people who would otherwise likely not have contributed
to the human gene pool you have taken these two people who may have genetic combinations that
nature would have eventually culled out of the population and not only allowed them back into the pool
but gave them a better chance at life than people who were created via natural means you have
essentially ensured that their genetic line will not only survive but likely dominantly propagate
throughout the planet even if no further gene editing is conducted on others you may not like the
connotations of the term designer baby but that is what they are you have designed them that is the
truth you have now helped to kickstart a trend of editing the genes of all babies you have given others
incentive to do so why would a parent want to create a child naturally who may end up with debilitating
diseases when they could just do it in a lab and ensure a healthy baby was born it is a slippery slope and
who are you to say we will always have ethical laws to prevent parents from making poor decisions
regarding this you say choosing the eye or hair color of a baby is not love that increasing intelligence is
not love but that is your own idea of love if a certain eye color is on average more desirable in your area
and you want your child to have the best odds of feeling like they are physically attractive is that not
love if you know having higher intelligence will make your children more likely to live a productive life
with a good income and you choose to give your child genes that make them more likely to have a high
iq is that not love that's why we send our children to school isn't it is it selfish of us who is to say that a
political revolution 100 years from now won't abolish these laws and take this technology to use in ways
you never personally intended this is a slippery slope that we should not want and do not need to begin
sliding down you have the power to help stop this please consider all of this dr he

this long perspective makes the pessimistic view of our prospects seem more likely to be a passing fad

nice job this might finally push to new strategies and regulations for gene therapy applications like he
already said designer babies should be banned but if you are able to help parents with genetic diseases
get a healthy baby i don't see why people get so upset
it all sounds great but long term i hope its not like their escalators

i applaud what he did

dad got fired from job due to hiv

daughters won't get married due to unforeseeable consequences of genome alteration in procreation

man caught hiv by chance which makes his life span less predictable and doesn't wish anyone hiv
therefore

man puts up with both his daughters' less predictable life span due to genome alteration

man is mentally ill and can't bear his own shadow wife is complicit clinician fails to send them to
psychiatrist world gets worse through actions of evil compensatory actions of egomaniacs

no fractional arithmetic necessary

i am looking forward to the more positive side of this than the negative and i am also hoping this is not a
fluke like elizabeth holme's theranos although i have my doubts

is gene editing the future of medicine sure it will help prevent diseases and such the problem is that

the technology although promising is still in it's early stages the chance of an unintended change in the
dna is extremely high he jiankui even states that they still have to confirm that nothing went wrong with
these girls

apparently this was done under secrecy no research center or juridical organization was overseeing this
therefore making it both illegal and unethical

this could classify as a human experiment which depending on where you are (although most countries
agree) is a criminal offence

this is pure speculation as there's absolutely no proof for this but maybe the parents paid to do the gene
surgery which could open a whole other debate regarding the illegality of it all with the scientist doctor
in question offering un-tested outlawed procedures

my people don't find such a serious thing it is gene modified person may be another species different
from human beings this a scientist just opened pandora box as we made modified vegetableswe are
worried about its safety so who let such person to experience human being he used such a describable
way to make himself infamous

this should be done years ago what are people waiting for

sir if you're reading this i would just like to say well done hopefully next time you will edit genes in a way
that can make us immune to cancer

listen to his words if one is scientifically literate one would know that this is not how the scientific
community sounds science doesn’t sell

it's very wise of him to call it gene surgery because it's simply that and it sounds much better than gmo
human or designer baby terms like that alienate people with true progress i just hope he is not lying
(cause he probably is) this could open great avenues for humanity we can do great things but we decide
not to because ethics

when insects start to copy insects the perfect insect state as already grown in this culture will be the
new final solution

so the antichrist will born in china

are their names a reference to lucy and nana from elfen lied mutants with deadly abilities experimented
on by scientists

these girls will be the most talked about stalked and tested girls in human history all eyes will be on
them yet they are innocent

make china great again

stand up and be proud of your achievement why should asian always wait for westerner to do it first
later to be label as copycats why should asian always seek permission for approval for westerner please
have some pride westerner follow their moral code of medical practice through judaism religion when
western create gmo food nobody dare to reject it have some confident in your own race we are saving
mankind those that suggest it would open the pandora box better lived in caveman a lot of new
medicine are debate radiation surgery face off surgery head transplant artificial organ harvesting chips
in humans nano medicine etc

don't jump to conclusions this could be a sick social experiment it has to be verified first if even true wait
and see

as a chinese still think that babies should be born naturally cause babies also should have the right to
choose what they want in the future by themselves but not decided by their parents or anyone else

if we have any scientific technology like this we can totally use it in other relatively safer ways like curing
badly diseases or making it into something like vaccine but not using it in an unchangable way especially
it's still gonna be inherited within human beings over the long term which means it might become a
potentially harmful danger in the future and especially x 2 this experiment was done under the
circumstance that the technology was still immature and not recognized by people or any certificated
institution

but still believe that we can finally find a solution to this and find a better way to apply this technology

plato's allegory of the cave comes to mind he is being attacked by the jealous scientists who have a
vested financial interest in holding science back through their ethics boards the weak frauds cannot
create so they unite to block the creators at every move we need more guys like this hero to take it
upon themselves to advance the state of humanity where do you think all of your vaccines and drugs
come from they are tested by big pharma on animals and then poor humans who participate in clinical
trials so clearly ethics in science is bullshit

go back to jail now shame on you don't even have a medical license don't run and come back to jail

pandora's box has been opened the genetic arms race has begun who knows what effects this will have
on the human gene pool generations from now
delusions based upon the wind

i think the propriety of the research will be questioned in the future

however i recognize that it is a scientifically valuable research result

i'm convinced that it is one way to create a creatures with high intelligence

at this point a nuclear apocalypse would be a bless

he is absolutely mad people wont be doing it for a reason how can he be such thought less now i guess
goodbye to his career life coz the reputation is over

hello darth plagueis

lulu and nana are innocent you shall rot in jail

i doubt this is real but if it is keep going brother since survival of the fittest doesn't apply to homo
sapiens anymore this is the only way we as a species will keep from degradation

these baby girls will live their whole lives as live human experiements being studied every step of the
way blocked from society so they won't pollute the gene pool

yeah if experimental things on animal can bring aids swine flue then i think experimental procedures
can remove these shits from our genes good use of science and technology well done

you are not a human at all

shame on you

this will destroy humanity

this is going to happen one day the only thing is that it happened now instead of happening in the future
someone is going to make it happen and he did it don't just slam him slam the govt and scientists who
created deadly weapons like nuclear bomb otherwise all of you will be a hypocrite criticize organ
transplant and grafting of limbs etc as all these are always done only by the rich people and western
countries always talk about allowing people to do whatever they want then why are they complaining
now everyone is a hypocrite people will go to jail for killing big mammals but they are not punished for
killing an ant but life is life whether small or big every human is a hypocrite and that will include me too
because i am human

ethics will be a thing of the past very soon

congratulations you created the grey alien those girls should be sterilized

very bad day for all humanity

cool weird ass people are going to be born soon and by the time i'm 80 furries will be real i wonder how
hot they're going to be or hella people will develop super powers and we'll live a comic book life
ooooooo that would be cool

gattaca is becoming reality now but in the movie we still belive in miracle
do not open the pandora's box yet

if we keep fucking around we are gonna mess up the human race

go to hell

don’t ever think its a coincidence that its two girls why not boys how you control later on how often
they have sex with other women i don’t know in order to get two girls how many deliberate abortions
were taken

i strongly oppose what you are doing it cannot be your right to decide

what's inhuman and what's not life is full of suffering no matter what

genes you're naturally born with leave the human gene pool alone

this is a crime against humanity

so this is how it ends

finally about time

you are so full of contradictions you talk about respecting child's autonomy how could you do that if you
edit their genes without their consent and love who the hell are you to even lecture people about what
love is or how to show and demonstrate it that's the main problem with this project - you can never
expect everyone to use the technology in accordance to your own flawed flimsy and questionable
fundamental principles because these are highly subjective you won't have absolute control over the
technology the moment this becomes mainstream imagine how that selfish desire to satisfy yourself and
longing for something could potentially impact the rest of the world and who will have access to this
technology certainly not the poor people who also want to have babies but only those couples who can
afford it if you know that you have a genetic disorder why would you bloody risk having a baby in the
first place and who cares about your lineage is your lineage more important than the entire human
species once this has been started you won't be able to predict everything that will come out of it
despite how noble you think the cause might be just because you can do something doesn't mean you
should and how could you even talk about lifetime suffering when you don't exactly know how those
babies will turn out in the future - they've become guinea pigs without their approval you are not in the
position to define what human suffering should constitute if the problem is hiv well look for ways on
how to cure it you don't need to edit the gene just to avoid it think about all the innumerable
implications of this project

great courage and skills to get this done hope the babies are fine congratulations

that will be less money for doctors in the future keep it up i support this project

funny how people think this is unacceptable but they are fine with abortion

one man did some sht and all chinese bio scientists fame are ruined

bad idea you made babies that are immune to hiv thus removing the negative incentive not to be
extremely promiscuous perhaps this won't affect these particular two to a great degree however on
average if this goes through your entire population then you will change your entire people not to
mention the other consequences

omg disaster

reckless

this guy just wanna be famous shame on him shame on china

made in china hummmm

do you people not realise that china will not be the only ones using this type of technology this will be
world war three

only someone who went to college for 10 years could be this stupid

adopt a child the whole it gives someone a 'purpose'

argument doesn't work

the people that compliment this technology now will feel sorry for their children when gene editing is
mandatory to get jobs or to proggress and nations start genetic wars to see what type of creature they
can create in a test tube you will see walking breathing biological pshycopathic machines

they prob don’t exist tbh

what a shame

your government will use this technology the same way my government used technology on the
japanese

immigrants from china will be genetic bombs

there's only one situation that i can support his decision grace and mark are an hiv-infected couple

great advance for the humanity i think the farmaceutic industries are afraid and start to desperate

can this be apply for cure diseases in adults

you just created humans with an evolutionary advantage over all other humans due to the ability to
breed as much as they want without the threat of hiv

disgusting i feel bad for those girls and the life they are going to be forced to live as science experiments

modifying their genes to prevent them from suffering the effects of hiv does not mean they can no
longer carry it you've just created a literal time bomb in the name of progress

man shouldn't play god

if you keep doing this your lack in long term thinking will eventually lead to the destruction of all
humans

this is absolutely insane you must be stopped immediately you are creating a bio weapon that could
destroy all of humanity idiots i hope powers unite to destroy your experiments and rats
those people talking about morals and ethics are stupider than a talking parrot like how did doctors
develop medical science until now without trial and error of the medications on human subjects many
people take huge irreversible risks over unnecessary beauty surgeries but can't we finally take practical
steps on gene therapy which is going to be a huge breakthrough in curing the incurable illnesses don't
buy the so called morals governments sell

your decisions to conduct this experiment and release no data to peer-review are unethical and you've
done irreparable damage to the science of gene-editing thanks he lab suchy sweethearts you are

scientists have done all kinds of shit this certainly won't be worse than invention of the atomic bomb

any links to the dataresults and pictures of the progress

just so we're clear by average ethics this technology isn't reliable enough to justify doing it on humans
yet i'm not saying shame on you for doing it but certainly some is deserved for giving the couple this
much hope it's only been a few weeks but there are plenty of edited organisms which live only a small
fraction of their average lifespan and that is what makes me concerned for that family

keep up the great work

as a chinese student i feel ashamed of this person he didn't do anything creative but put the whole
human beings in a dangerous situation anyone with a little intellect should feel lost not excited it's a
tragic

he (that is his last name) is not the first one to know the technique but he is the first one to break the
human law he is a shame

why would enhancing iq be banned it's like banning schools make everybody smart that's good for all of
us more smart people less dumb people morals are religious dogma for low-iq people you can keep your
morals i want a child with very high iq capable of curing diseases and solving problems that make my life
better

a regime trampling rule of law a society that high officials' corruption information is a national secret
how can you make sure regulation is there to oversee those who have unprecedented unchallenged
power

i am not sure if we should edit dna because the bible says god knits us together in the womb but when
this scientist called the single cell by the name of the baby and then said he was merely performing
surgery to help the babythat leads me to believe he does not want to play god but that he wants to use
his talents for god to help people in this context i hope these little girls obtain salvation through our lord
jesus christ i think the bigger issue with the ethics of those scientists who think they have the right to
probe the human mind and with probing the mind i mean putting memories thoughts and images onto a
computer screen microchip implants into the brain to computer interface memory transfers brain and
head transplant surgeries etc these are the types of technologies the bible says are an abomination of
deuteronomy 18 which is whoredom of the soul by making it nude or unveiling a person's mind nude
before others jesus gives us robes of salvation which means our mind is to be covered with garments of
his righteousness those are the technologies that are unethical and i made a playlist called mark of the
beast technology for they are forbidden in the book of revelation it is like the eye of egypt or the tree of
knowledge of good and evil when dealing with gene editing if a person is trying to play god their
intention is evil what if then scientists decide they want to merge man with animal that then will go too
far

show the prove or it didn't happen

if this is unethical then choosing the people you mate with should also be unethical

totally support this type of responsible and informed experimentation conducted by competent
courageous scientists pay no attention to the usual fear mongering

two what two chinese ger wtf is ger

this dude didn't even dare to translate the sneaky term forcibly sterilize woman into chinese see how
dishonest this man could be yes prc does have one child policy but never target-persecutes women with
hiv

finally some future is coming

i'm paying 1000000 to enhance my children's iq through gene editing

gattaca

he is in big trouble all he want is to fool the gov and vc funds to have long turn fundings he is not a
frankenstein type of person he is more like street vendor type person

he want to be god

to the people saying this is way too early to be applied to humans why you can still choose not to do
this to your own babies no government is forcefully taking babies and doing this procedure i believe that
if a couple consents to doing this they should be allowed this goes for all experimental treatments and
procedures fuck the regulatory bodies if people consent they have a child without hiv now how is that
not a good thing

no other gene was changed other than the one to prevent hiv infection calm down people yes more
things are coming but the only way we can ensure it doesn't go to shit is if the rest of the developed
world participates in these technologies mapping out every possible path this can take us down and
ensuring the best possible outcome if you don't agree then good luck with your luddite revolution it's
not going to work

china does it again do they remember the repurcussions of the one child rule they put in place and that
was just a socual policy now we have two little girls where wives are in high demand in china so chances
are high they will reproduce and the altered dna will quickly spread throughout the population

are u crazy

aliens

can't wait for adn modifies human soldiers this will go bad realy fast this is exactly what happened with
nuclear power created to make huge amounts of power to help humans and then made into extreamly
powerfull and distructive bombs
i will say that in max 100 years disasters will happen because of this imagine a hybrid with a human
brain and an ai cpu that is always connected to ethernet it will be able to acces any information then
store it in the brain freaky stuff this is a huge pandora's box that you guys have just discovered

i am the only one that like this

people are right to be fearful for today our genes are competing for survival principally against the genes
of other people but this is an amazing technology congratulations to the family the team & the chinese
nation for their achievements

there are so many things that are wrong with this video i know it is worth panicking but i do believe it is
fake i do not know his reasons because this will basically ruin his reputation and his life in scientific
terms however i do not think he is being accurate there are so many things that are wrong

why didn't he create a paper he could post on a private website of some sort or even linked it on the
description a video means nothing really even less if it is so vaguely explained

i am not an expert in either developmental biology nor virology nor pregnancy whatsoever but i do
believe there is a treatement which works pretty well to prevent mother-child transmission of hiv in fact
there probably is more than away to get around that

he explains the whole sequencing so badly how does he sequence the babies exactly if they are a single
cell i repeat i am not an expert but i have conducted a ngs and i do believe using that single cell means it
would be destroyed in the process of amplification nonetheless if it was a whole cluster of developing
cells he sequenced could hiv not have been present there aswell

i just read this quickly so i am not sure what else could be wrong but i can imagine it is so much more

i do reiterate that i am not a professional therefore do not take my word as if it were the truth but i
would like other biologists to give their opinions on the topic this whole thing is very fishy regardless

don't listen to your hysterical western media people well done

congratulation for you start the new page of human history

if this isn't a hoax it s a nice thing well done china

this is totally unethical

you really should be banned in science

if you really care about the future life of those two girls you will never take them as part of your
experiment

no scientists willing to take the risk of 2 human baby's lives as a way to pursue their personal interests
and reputation

i don't think that you should be called as a scientist you don't deserve it

for true you are just a businessman using the advantage of chinese law and making money through an
unethical biological technique
i hope that nana and lulu really as he said safety and health can grow up freely as other children
without being used as testers in rest of their life

monstrous experiments

f this is just for preventing heritable diseases i don't see what's wrong with this i'm not in this field
though

i think genetically modified human isn't a bioethical problem unless capitalism enters in scene

to make these domain truly ethical we have to define some very stricts rules to follow so in the end the
capitalism couldn't apply to gm humans

i'm really scared of a world where the richest people could afford to cure aids contrary to poor people

i don't want a world like this to make this scientific revolution a human revolution we have to spread as
much as possible this technics (with some straight rules as saide above) to humanity in the world

to me this man is a hero if you want to achieve big scientific breakthroughs you need to be bold
sanctimonious bioethicists love to express outrage and shock at this type of work but what have they
done they love to lecture debate and discuss ethical issues endlessly while admonishing people like he
jiankui for actually daring to get things done think about a world with less disease longer lifespans and
smarter happier people if that strikes you as dystopian then you're very small-minded what's the matter
anyway are you just jealous that when this treatment becomes available to babies of the future you
won't be one of the recipients boohoo don't hold back human progress

the possibilities are endless

any links to the dataresults and pictures of the progress

just so we're clear by average ethics this technology isn't reliable enough to justify doing it on humans
yet i'm not saying shame on you for doing it but certainly some is deserved for giving the couple this
much hope it's only been a few weeks but there are plenty of edited organisms which live only a small
fraction of their average lifespan and that is what makes me concerned for that family

wauw great news this could possibly mean the end to hiv and other nasty things great development

metal gear solid's les enfants terribles projectthe sons of big boss

what created us did much the same thing to achieve the version of human we are hey the earth is a
petri dish something keeps creating life and wiping it out archeological history seems full of evidence of
that we may have the power to create life what humanity does not possess is the morals to do so we're
still so primitive it's sad actually look at what we still do to each other we have the intelligence the
technology but not the morals or the maturation this man should not have done this firing squad seems
appropriate

please be noticed that he did it without any approval the government is starting to investigate this

for chinese

welcome to the beginning of the end my friends

this is the future this technology needs to be freed from regulations so that humanity can evolve to the
next stage of its existence - one that will render our current forms as antiquated as those as chimps

i'd like to know how many of the moralizing opinionists have a bayer medicine in their closets

if it is true what he did it might be a step into the future still he has to be removed from the scientific
community we cannot do experiments on living humans this carelessly i do support tests on embryos
and generally gene editing the difference is that those 2 girls will grow up under the shadow of scientific
research as they are the first examples for long term effects of the cripscas9 procedure

it is sad what happend herei love science but we cannot start to test things on people who were never
able to give their consent

nam- lu-lu goes all the way back to the fall of lucifer these are design babies for the future mk ultra
program this is horrible to test these embryos for hiv aids when the greys ( zeti- reticule) designed the
disease the laws in china are so strict that people can't even breathe it is no excuse to use the laws to
test a baby out on hiv these are clones being designed for the 5g wireless remote neural monitoring
more mind control on the planet that is all this is more mk-ultra testing or going after psychic powers

great conquest he for nobel prize

if true the brave new world has started

horrible

if this video is true congratulation to chinese no more aids and in the future no more cancer no more
rare disease evolution dna future hope

greetings from germany those are great news and i hope to see that this technology will be used to help
humans all across the world i gratulate the parent for those two beautiful children and i hope the best
for them thank you

great work all these hypocritical naysayers will soon beg to have genetically enhanced children

he sounds pretty legit and reasonable great work if so someone has to break the chains lets end the
power of religion through gov

the ability to manipulate our own genetic code is the natural next step in the evolutionary process i
applaud your courage ignore those who would condemn us to evolutionary stagnation

this is horrible

in spite of the controversy i am glad the lab is so open about it

china is a bad sci fi novel waiting to happen first rampant pollution now genetically modified human
beings what could go wrong

no ethics no morals pathetic this is not a breakthrough people knew this could be done we were not
doing it for a reason

shame on he and pity for the little gilrs who were born into this world with a great danger of developing
something we can not control and even be aware of the medical ethics focuses on the benefit of the
subject and minimal harm when trying to secure this benefit in the case lulu and nana should not
undergone genetic modification because they are not hiv patients and they don't need to undergo such
a dangerous procedure ccr5 is doorway for hiv but getting rid of it may cause some other problems even
more serious and we don't know even what will happen in the future this is core problem for he's
experiment we don't see any benefit for the babies in the future but unpredictable future how could a
scientist do such a crazy thing

i m totally amazed but feared toopublish it man

that is great congratulation future is here our evolution in our human's hands

nice

we opened the door but not sure whether its door to heaven or to hell

monster you reptilians lucifer's elite are doing this

it would be really disaster for the human

can't trust anything from china but if gene editing is true good news first step

the entire comment section is retared all of you still live in middle ages

we're really sorry

while currently considered to be totally unethical we need to pursue this line of research to save
humanity it's not any medical issue i'm concerned with rather the fact that we're not in charge of our
body design and our reticence to pursue experiments like he has been performing makes us unlikely to
make much progress

not being in charge of our own body-design is going to be a problem in the near future say one or two
centuries from now our society will end up being run by ever more intelligent machines at some point
our descendants will risk being left behind just like apes in the jungle who don't have much of a say in
our society the ability to keep up with changing society in that context will depend on whether humans
are able to adapt their body design to allow them to be integrated better into the new machine society
so it's analogous to old computer equipment being compatible with newer devices

in a scenario where we split off from machine society we're most likely going to be exterminated
because when left alone we're capable of causing a lot of damage we could eg make nuclear weapons
and try to destroy the civilization that has taken our land away why would the machine society trust us
not to do that

if somehow there would be a peaceful coexistence we would end up becoming slave laborers we
invented technology to let our work be done by dumber machines and we also use animals for our
benefit but the whole point of being intelligent is that you can let less intelligent creatures do all the
work for you so when the machines overtake us they become our masters

the only way to avoid this fate is to use genetic engineering to get to brains that can be connected to
computers so that the coming machine civilization will use brains instead of developing a totally brain-
free machine civilization from scratch the latter possibility will then be preempted by economic
competition
you cannot stop the advancement you can call him a heretic you can say shame on him but he finally
used tools and knowledge in doing something good for humanity

shame on you i did not feel that you want to help people i saw you did it for benefits for your fame you
are not a hero you are a coward because you did not do it open and release it to public in the beginning

the amount of chinese commenters here displaying a greater loyalty to their government than to the
whole of humanity is what's truly shameful ignorant comments from people terrified of progress these
same dire predictions of disaster have been shouted at every single advancement of medical science to
be clear saving lives is more important than your discomfort at something you don't understand

you ever wake up one day and think how can i take the most exciting and powerful medical
breakthrough of the last half-century use it in the most irresponsible way just to say i did it first and as a
result stifle responsible advancement due to an enormous ethical backlash

well thats what this guy did

there's technically no breakthrough only the bottom line broken

way to many negative comments already

not mine congrats on the premiere

can we make humans stronger

the era of the superhumans has dawned upon us

please advance our human species and put us back on evolutionary track it's long over due

i hope gene modification and artificial intelligence will wipe out the useless population of the earth and
allow only the fittest to survive

congratulations for opening the door hopefully rest of the scientific community throw out useless
ethical concerns and follow suit i believe the arms race of this century will be in the domain of artificial
intelligence and gene modification

sick and tired of libertard scums for once get rid of those on welfare and those who aren't doing
anything that's not intellectually challenging way to go

won't the aids virus simply mutate or selection pressure modify the virus population accordingly

stanford needs to revoke any credential that this guy has obtained from there and china really needs to
put harsh punishment guideline in place for such illegal activity playing god is not right nothing was
wrong with those embryos that needed alteration to avoid hiv practice safe sex and don't share needles
or tainted blood usa is the hub of research but sadly it can also be the incubator for monsters i am of
chinese descent but we must call out this chinese scientist for his despicable experiment fyi this is
analogous to what hitler's nazi did while trying to create the super race and now this moron scientist
opened the flood gate do not become the next dr frankenstein this example will give those chinese
haters more ammunition to claim chinese came to the usa to learn the technology and went home to
create evils that this country have long stood against this is absolutely immoral remember a simple
moral in life just because we can does not mean we should
this is amazing

what are you doing research for the well-being of human beings or for your own celebrity

a line has been crossed where humanity in our hubris feels that we know better than nature this will
mean the end of our species as we know it

since when a peer-reviewed scientific paper can be replaced by a 4 minutes youtube video

all i have to say isfollow the money and you'll see what this is really about this is not about protecting
humans from disease or they wouldn't have started where they did this is about making money and
oligarchy

what the hell is he doing that's totally insane i think they didn't even apply for an ethical review before
they began this ridiculous human experiment

i hope your meddling results in a genetic disease that wipes all the chinese out for such hubris

shame for this monstrous experiment

it is always appreciable to see chinese science making progress but such unconscientious
experimentation taints it irrevocably and such decisions can never be taken on individual basis these are
humanity's issues hope this claim is a hoax

regardless of your good kindness to help the family or ill intentions for all the fame & name you are in
denial to all the ethical commitment that scientists tried to oblige so far this is a living example of a mad
scientist

this is bad on so many levels comeon china get yo shit together

will china now start production of gene enhanced army commandos or will the focus be on enhanced
iphone production employees

how much doctor to edit my genes to make my future kids blond with blue eyes 2 meters tall and extra
intelligentsavants

this is an illegal underground experiment

as a chinese i am very ashamed of what you have done this is not the progress of science this is the lack
of human nature what did you do with the two children we will apologize to the whole world for your
mistake

strange reactions as if this was the first everybody knows that these experiments took already place but
hidden from public #hypocritecomments

actually this is rather exiting i find the whole process disregarding results or ethical complications
essential for future global developments

this actually could be fake just to raise awareness for the controversy around human genome editing
there are some red flags 1 there is no paper or preprint 2 hospital doesn't know about the existence of
the babies and 3 i fail to understand why you would knockout a receptor to which hiv binds if the dad is
the one with the hiv isn't the hiv removed from the sperm when you do the ivf treatment 4 whole
genome sequencing before and after editing is a very good idea however it is very hard to make 100
sure crispr did not aspecifically target something variant calling and other bam analyses would detect
changes in the dna if the depth is good enough however if for some reason the crispr-cas9 creates or
inserts dna that does not align to the human genome then it will go undetected with those analyses you
could write some scripts to check changes in the unmapped or align against other genomes like virusses
and transposons that are not known transposable elements but i doubt that they did that

this will not end well

is this a hoax

this is oddly happened and ruin everything we've done to keep science ethical it's not proved by any
chinese institution nor goverment associates just to clarify and this is illegal according to our law

excuse my ignorance ( i think expirimenting on embryos sceams of danger and is morally wrong) if i
understood he engineered the cells so they can never be infected with hiv well how are they going to
prove this repeatedly expose the babiesgirls to hiv so they know there expiriment worked this is
bordering on dr josef mengele actions and must be banned with severe punishment thanks

chinese is overtaking the west in science but westerners seem not too worried since they overtake the
chinese in gender studies and other grievance studies

i don’t believe he do this for his own interests

genetic engineering will change everything forever - crispr by kurzgesagt - in a nutshell you're welcome

playing to be god is not science

shame

you a terrorist deserve to be arrested immediately for destruction of public safety and if the creatures
you created are still be able to be called human remains a big question and should probably to be
extincted

if nobody make a change our dna will always the same not evolution so we need somebody to do it even
though there is risk for kids but it is deserve it

lets here more about your 2 companies patent and ego the big picture is this technology will be used to
alter humans for reasons beyond disease and that will likely lead to massive disparity can you afford the
lamborghini genetic modifications toyota or maybe you are taking the bus i assure you this isn’t going to
be cheap sorry that you and your offspring will be genetically inferior according to the latest trends in
gmo humans and that some scientist will be deciding how we should craft future generations of humans
what is beneficial and what is not maybe they can engineer away the need for sleeping and love so we
can work more this scientist is an irresponsible douchebag

this is the future i wish people stopped being retarded in every possible way

this is ridiculous although the experiment was carried out in a purpose of improving immune system i
really don’t understand why it is necessary to apply it on babies with healthy mom and dad statements
made by him were almost positive without mentioning any underlying risks how could mark and grace
accepted this problematic offer
by buying insurance against serious diseases costs and benefits are easy to be seen but it is not the case
here by being involuntarily edited in order to be immune from small-probability diseases‹¬ innocent
babies would have to face an unknown level of uncertainty and have to pay bills arising from any
unexpected events there is no excuse for either scientist or parents to rationalise what they have done

best luck for these babies

thank you for ruining us all

congrats on the great work

insane

shamed on this experiment

it should be discussed if gene edit should be used on humenbeings jiankui a cazzy guy sorry it happen
in china

you have all but ensured that wealthy families in china will start illicitly editing their own offspring
without any oversight then others will start doing this around the world headed straight to dystopia
shameful

sad to be in the same city with this devil fortunately not in the same university

this is our first step to our self destruction

you took out the dislike button because the whole world is against this chinese disgusting behaviour
eating dogs now making gmo babies

the problem with this is we just don't know how this could potentially damage human's dna over the
long term

gene-edited baby has been forbidden in china this hospital is conducting illegal experimentsthe united
states should not cover this anti-human criminal and should extradite the criminal to china

incredibly insane

you are a devil poor two babies

where is it published

shame on you as a chinese

you are so grosssss delete the videos and stop all the so-called research you r doing youd better use that
time to improve your english

you did an unnecessary surgery to two healthy babies which brings uncertain results and huge risk to
them thanks to this experiment they are no longer safe as other children you tread babies like some kind
of experimental materials and its you who ruined their life

shame on you shame on all of you scum of chinese researchers

he broke the ethic limitations with his insane minds maybe he will bring us a brand new world -a world
of newtypes

will you save a child that would otherwise die please watch this video until the end before commenting i
hoped he's message get across 'we hope you have mercy for them the parents only want a child who
won't suffer from disease which medicine cannot prevent gene surgery is and should remain a
technology for healing i agree that we don't know what to expect in the future for designer babies but i
hope we can consider more about the people suffering form inheritable diseases when commenting on
any of these issues

you have no right to do so

this idiot should be sentenced and end in jail as a chinese i feel really embarrassed there is definitely
some ethic bottom line that we must not break through the infants are innocent but they have to face
unpredictable consequence their lifespan might be affected all because of this stupid asshole's thirst for
fame

so there will be just one type of chinese person in 10 years the procommunist perfectionist you people
are nuts

bad idea please stop now

so horrible must control the girls properly

scary

why focusing on hiv why not other diseases regarding these babies

shame on you

it is totally unbearable the chinese scientists have already united to against this event the university
which this person is belonged is also announced to claim that they no nothing about this event until it
happened this people should be guilty regarding this terrible thought that he did this risk event without
thoroughly consider we all chinese scientists are ashamed with this businessman and sorry for the
supervisory committee looking forward to the following judgement

don’t think this is a good thing for humanity

how dare you without irb approval and definitely they would not approve this this 'research' is a disaster
to human beings especially that two girls

last time nazi did same work as yours

i am shamed for you as i am a chinese researcher

congratulations dr he our technology has been advancing faster than evolution for the past hundreds of
years now it's time to use genre technology to advance human race 100 years into the future when we
look back this is the moment mankind started to control our encoded destiny this is the beginning of
self awareness

for the argument on injustice for poor kids well there is true injustice for those poor people suffering
from expensive disease right now a chinese movie name i'm not a drug lord adapted from a true story
telling someone called lu yong got caught by the police on smuggling indian copycat of glivec for those
poor chronic granulocytic leukemia patients who can not afford genuine medicine from novartis mr lu
was not charged at last my point is such argument is only about dealing the interest between the
feedback on creativity and human life and has nothing to do with the science itself

as a chinese i think this news is horrible

respect the nature please

pandora's box has been opened shame of what you have done this technology is not that difficult at
allno one had done it before because all of other researchers respect the rule of keeping the medical
ethics shame

how dare you

crazy

i don't get itwhy start with anti-aids when there's so many hereditary genetic disorder that is actually
relevant out there i can't see how your demonstration can ever become a viable treatment to actual
aids patients when you have to start with single cell embryo you mentioned using this technology on
treating hereditary disorders then start with one that would be a true therapy what you did is essentially
skipping developing a therapy and going straight for creating genetically immune humans when the tech
is not mature yet how do you know that ccr5 isn't involved in some hypothetical pathways that is not
yet uncovered how do you know that wouldn't bring about adverse effects we are just stepping into the
era of genomics with still very little knowledge of gene and protein interactions and you already start
playing around with it even if you succeed and ccr5 has absolutely no hidden effects this might very well
be an isolated case with little to none reproducibility and means nothing as a whole to the medical use
of crisprcas9 what are you thinking

great

while i do not fully appreciate the implications gene editing can have i believe you should be supported
in your work to make even greater and safer ways of improving your work welldone and best wishes

gene-editing is the future

thus begins the wwiii

to anyone who is seeing this vedio this experiment has not been approved by chinese authority related
organizations and institutions(all official announcements by those facilities have been made in china)

just think about the babies they may not get hiv but they will have other potential gene diseases they
may even die very young because of this editing work they could have been healthy babies

hope u can do a little reasearch online see some views from other experts to understand how
dangerous this is with human knowing so little about our henes and the technology being so immature

the project has not been reported to the chinese medical management department the incident has
attracted the attention of the government and relevant scholars have been investigated

disgusting

this was an attack on mankind 100 this man is an enemy someone has to stop him and his
experiments with our dna otherwise the mankind will not be the same anymore in some years

whatever comes will come soon finally it comes

shame on whoever are related

so the first gene editing was done on humans and instead of fixing a broken gene this was done by
breaking a gene (ccr5) whaaaaat

as a chinese i feel shame

sad this children will become parents too and after many years the dna of the whole mankind is lost
absolute sick

i 100 support this and why not use it for increasing iq too it would be more exciting with some higher
voltage batteries around especially with the technology we need to handle now and in the future (space
equipment quantum computing etc)

i am chinese i am ashamed of him he uses girls lifeto do his experiments in the case of immature
technology

omg i cant imagine the future it will be

gene editing is one way to cure disease but not at this stage crispr-cas9 is still premature with high risk
this is illegal in china and is a huge ethical issue in science world

i feel disgusting and shame as a chinese

i'm as chinese life researcher deeply shamed of this freak who is not scientist at all he should be
sentenced it's a crime not an achievement

the social and political scenarios are endless if gene editing were to be used to enhance i see a reason
for making it harder for diseases to continue being passed on and spreading but nothing else who
regulates that globally

the risk of inequality discrimination both ways gene enhanced individuals being giving more
opportunities it's enough to start riots hell this video is enough to encourage radicalism
governments have enough to deal with right now without migrants being super-human in 20 years so
the next thing we need to hear is this guy being put in detention for a long time

if we want to compete with the speed technology advances things like this are essential even if it's for
the likes such as intelligence we are currently limited by our own species and that on it's own will
destroy us far before designer babies do

i for one am impressed and glad we are advancing as a species i rather see designer humans who are
free of disease and intolerable stupidity than seeing the world being destroyed by stupidity or designer
ai

ah ignore those losers you did it china congratulations

you crossed the line of ethics and endangered the future of gene editing research i hope the ccp can
throw you to jail you are an embarrassment of science people will know you as a crazy person from
history book

so technically speaking infecting these children with the hiv on purpose should have no effect on them
right

does anyone have any idea what are the regulations in china are for gene editing

amazing news if everything was done properly questionable genes to edit though

i am very happy and supportive of this 'great leap forward' experiment carry on mr he great wishes for
your success in this breakthrough technology don't get distracted by these jealous westerners i myself
suffer from a disabling hereditary disease and you cant imagine how hard is life for us thank you again

shame

shame on you

this is where it began

shame

good news everyone

that is really crazy and ridiculous

a huge wave of supermen is approaching

i am a master's student in china and i am strongly against the unethical experiment

proud of you all my love for the family and the resercher

wow thats great

this should have never happened you just modified a human and called it gene surgery

monumental good work and congratulations

feel shamed about applying still immature gene editing technique on human beings
so this is how the end begins as it was in the days of noah they always use children and humanitarian
causes to start playing god as cover within a few years the true motive of profit always comes to the
fore people will be using this to eradicate undesirable traits and without fail in the future it will be used
to eradicate darker skin tones they already keep sterilizing women of color without their consent
nothing for them to accidentally slip something in them that eliminates the african features from their
babies this is what the nazi's margaret sanger and ethnic cleansers throughout history dreamed of
congrats china

it could be controversial but i still believe that gene-editing is the right road of future medical

is this a breakthrough or break-scaring

kill this creepy mad scientist

you will be remembered but of course as the one who opened pandora's box i know this won't be
stopped anyway can't imagine how many have been waiting for this moment for someone like you to
take the first step but i hope you will go to jail soon and straight to hell after death to the boiler room of
hell

man this is unresponsible how can you make sure the girls are healthy when they grow older

this is wicked absolutely wicked they don’t know the outcome for these children in their meddling they
could be lying about the success of said surgery it will start with trying to do away with hiv whats next
gene surgery is for a small amount of people this must have cost someone a boat load of money to help
a small amount of people

every time the human do something on themselves will leading human to ruin

grace and mark of course

i was feeling bad as a chinese student in bme and i am feeling desperate after seeing these comments in
both chinese and english

pandoras box has been opened and whether it is good or bad humanity has entered a new stage

that's scary it must become a conflict how this world will become i can't know

really

as a chinese researcher i am very angry and shamefaced about this experiment

well done dr jk history will be on your side when all genetic illnesses are wiped out it will be because of
your bravery thank you

an undergrad majoring in biology can do this experiment and you do not necessarily need to edit your
gene to avoid aids your research is nonsense only nazi could conduct such experiment on human beings
shame on you

before being so excited i would suggest to consider the concern of genome editing community raised by
recent published papers in nature medicine

nothing wrong with enhancing iq you nunce

i don't know how this will end but i do realize that it opens another area that people will be arguing to
their death with that is gene-editing on human beings

science and technology are always innocent they just reflect the nature of the world

what is important is how the regulators manage the applications of the technologies it will be incredible
to stop those genetic diseases from the very beginning but the application should be limited in
preventing diseases only

a great day for humanity provided the procedure is save and does not harm the baby

i would strongly appreciate iq enhancement by gene editing there is absolutely nothing wrong about it
provided it doesn't harm the child

so illegal and inhuman experiment

incredible human experiments

this is terrible shame on them this kind of experiment on human is forbidden all over the world (maybe
nazi did it before) but these just done it the side effect of knocking the gene off is completely unknown
which mean that it may harm the babies wellness more over the gene can be passed to their children
which means that if something wrong happens the entire bloodline will suffer eternally this is a break
through though to the bottom of human ethics god bless the babies

i wondering how you can guarantee that each of the babies is allozygote and every single cell inside
them was modified what if the babies are mosaic

you just opened pandoras box on behalf of the entire human race

sheldon once said with great power comes great responsibility

mark as a chinese it's happened in china we have not approved it

they will constantly give blood and cells to researchers throughout their lives poor girls

my good wishes are with the lulu and nana and their parents and i want to congratulate the research
team

this is terrible i doubt the seriousness of the irb i felt shamed that this happened in china

revolution begins

incredible moment wish this work could be done in the open

this experiment was highly irresponsible and this video doesn't discuss the real risks the girls will face in
their future why was this human experiment done in secret
