CRISPR People

In November 2018, the world was stunned by the birth of two gene-edited babies in China—the first "CRISPR'd" humans. Leading law and genetics authority Hank Greely unravels this groundbreaking and controversial human experiment. Greely details how scientist He Jiankui performed the unprecedented germline editing, explores the global scientific and public outcry, and analyzes the profound ethical and societal implications. While condemning He's actions as reckless and immoral, Greely thoughtfully considers the future of human DNA editing and what these genetic interventions mean for science and humanity.
