Chinese gene editing experiment loses tracks of patients ,alarming technology inventors

[MindWars]

Chinese scientists have raced ahead in experimenting with gene-editing on humans in the last few years, using a powerful new tool called Crispr-Cas9 to edit the DNA of dozens of cancer patients.
Chinese Gene-Editing Experiment Loses Track of Patients, Alarming Technology’s Inventors

Yeah we bet they lost it, more like some bs happened they don't want the police finding out all the garbage being done to humans and half the dumb ass public hasn't a clue nor cares because eeeeh what do they know. LOL

If the average loon knew how dangerous crispr even is , the morons wouldn't want this to exist either.

He Jiankui used CRISPR to remove a gene which plays a role in the HIV virus to infect cells from the embryos. CRISPR is a powerful gene editing technique and this type of gene therapy is almost there to cure cancer and AIDS in the near future. But we need to start with animal experiments and the Chinese scientist jumped the gun. Probably he was too ambitious to become the world's first success story in genome editing and there was no criminal intent.

As in bacteria, the modified RNA is used to recognize the DNA sequence, and the Cas9 enzyme cuts the DNA at the targeted location. Although Cas9 is the enzyme that is used most often, other enzymes (for example Cpf1) can also be used. Once the DNA is cut, researchers use the cell's own DNA repair machinery to add or delete pieces of genetic material, or to make changes to the DNA by replacing an existing segment with a customized DNA sequence.

Genome editing is of great interest in the prevention and treatment of human diseases. Currently, most research on genome editing is done to understand diseases using cells and animal models. Scientists are still working to determine whether this approach is safe and effective for use in people. It is being explored in research on a wide variety of diseases, including single-gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and sickle cell disease. It also holds promise for the treatment and prevention of more complex diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, mental illness, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

What are genome editing and CRISPR-Cas9?
