On 26 November 2018, The CRISPR Journal published ahead of print an article by He, Ryan Ferrell, Chen Yuanlin, Qin Jinzhou, and Chen Yangran in which the authors justified the ethical use of CRISPR gene editing in humans. [74] As the news of CRISPR babies broke out, the editors reexamined the paper and retracted it on 28 December, announcing:
The baby was later revealed in 2022 as Amy. [55] In February 2022, Chinese scientists called for building a special facility to care for and study the three children born with genetically edited genomes or 'CRISPR Babies'. They assert that errors could have occurred in the gene editing process.
In April 2015, researchers reported results of basic research to edit the DNA of non-viable human embryos using CRISPR, creating controversy. [ 54 ] A committee of the American National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Medicine gave support to human genome editing in 2017 [ 55 ] [ 56 ] once answers have been found to safety and ...
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 ...
Are people overreacting to a funny photo, or is there real danger here? An Ohio woman posted photos on Facebook showing her 2-month-old granddaughter with a pacifier secured to her face with duct ...
Off-target genome editing refers to nonspecific and unintended genetic modifications that can arise through the use of engineered nuclease technologies such as: clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats ()-Cas9, transcription activator-like effector nucleases (), meganucleases, and zinc finger nucleases (ZFN).

In a controversial take on the classic holiday display, some churches are replacing the baby Jesus’s traditional swaddling blanket with the black-and-white scarf — which has become a symbol of ...
TikTok is buzzing about a controversy surrounding the popular baby clothing brand Kyte Baby. The company denied a new mom's request to work remotely while she cared for her premature newborn in ...
