The work was widely condemned as unethical, dangerous, and premature. [280] An international group of scientists called for a global moratorium on genetically editing human embryos. [281] Designer babies. The advent of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology has led to the possibility of creating "designer babies."
The impact of human gene editing on resistance to HIV infection and other body functions in experimental infants remains controversial. The World Health Organization has issued three reports on the guidelines of human genome editing since 2019, [ 41 ] and the Chinese government has prepared regulations since May 2019. [ 42 ]

The first gene-edited children are alive and well, says He Jiankui, the disgraced CRISPR scientist who edited the children.
A designer baby is a baby whose genetic makeup has been selected or altered, often to exclude a particular gene or to remove genes associated with disease. [1] [2] This process usually involves analysing a wide range of human embryos to identify genes associated with particular diseases and characteristics, and selecting embryos that have the desired genetic makeup; a process known as ...
CRISPR gene editing is a revolutionary technology that allows for precise, targeted modifications to the DNA of living organisms. Developed from a natural defense mechanism found in bacteria, CRISPR-Cas9 is the most commonly used system, that allows "cutting" of DNA at specific locations and either delete, modify, or insert genetic material.
