Harvard to begin sperm editing despite baby gene-editing row
Scientist Werner Neuhausser has said Harvard will soon use gene-editing tool CRISPR to change the DNA code inside sperm cells to study the possibility of reducing the risk of Alzheimerâs disease. "This is a technology that could save the species, potentially," he added. This comes after Chinese researcher He Jiankui recently claimed the creation of world's first gene-edited 'HIV-resistant' babies.
