Scientists Propose Protections for Gene-Edited Babies | China News | NewsRme

According to reports, He Jiankui, who developed the kids, will be freed shortly after serving three years in jail. In 2018, He, a genome-editing researcher at Shenzhen's Southern University of Science and Technology, startled the world by claiming to have produced the world's first genetically modified people. In December 2019, he was given three years in prison. Some media outlets reported that He will be released soon, raising fears about the health of the gene-edited infants, including Lulu and Nana twins and Amy. To protect the three children and their descendants from discrimination and gene diseases caused by the editing, Qiu Renzong of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Lei Ruipeng of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, Hubei Province, told Global Times they had drafted a proposal to related authorities. The concept asks that the newborns' whole genome be tested routinely to see whether it is normal or not. After they turn 18, their parents should notify them that their DNA has been modified with the help of genetic specialists.
