“...The creation of gene-edited twins Lula and Nana, whose birth in late 2018 sent shockwaves through the scientific world...” First time hearing about this. I get lots of shitty stuff about black holes and dark matter on my news feed all the time but this is actually important.

Does it turn them into Japanese Capitalists?

Woo boy ... or girl

China, you let scientists run experiments on humans and hide them away. You isolate and impose brainwashing on your people. You control the narrative of manufacturers desperate to profit. You are unwilling to discuss HK and democracy. Yet humanity turns a blind eye.

This is it people...this is how we get mutants!

Unintended but perhaps not entirely unpredicted.

Eek

Wow. Who would have thought?

Watch the movie 'the Mutant'......

These edits are inheritable. That means that every edit - EVERY ONE - is almost certain to enter gen pop DNA and over enough time will be common. crazy When are scientists going to stop CRISPR ? It should only be used on infertile subjects.

China, messing about with gene technology.. what the hell are they thinking?

What a shock!

I've seen movies about this. It never ends well for humanity.

Mageshima Island is an 8.2sq km black of land in the East China Sea… Smart move. Looks like an ideal spot to lock up Trump until after the next US election. The old dusty mentality Chinese leaders definitely grossly miscalculated their expansion of environmental harmful man made islands in the China Sea. The world awakens and the Chinese leaders are hopelessly out matched.
