Gene EDITED babies?!
He Jiankui, a successful entrepreneur and ambitious scientist revealed to the world that he created the first ever gene edited embryos that resulted in the birth of twin girls, just two months ago.

This work was achieved through the use of the revolutionary technology, CRISPR.

In this video I'll talk about the technical issues which have shocked scientists about how the technology was used.
