They planned to eliminate a gene called CCR5 in hopes of rendering the offspring resistant to HIV, smallpox, and cholera.
Such thinking could, in the future, yield people who have only the luckiest genes and never suffer Alzheimers, heart disease, or certain infections.


...this is "bad"?


With our current knowledge of the human genome, yes. Who knows, maybe these kids will have a 10,000% chance of developing type 1 diabetes, or alzheimers by age 40.


True but China will just clap for these children giving their lives for the state.
