DNA editing of human embryos reignites debate over designer babies - The Washington Post
# DNA editing of human embryos reignites debate over designer babies. Base editing, the process used to make the changes, only nicks one strand of DNA, avoiding the major DNA errors that made CRISPR unsafe. Make us preferred on Google. Base editing, a next-gen version of CRISPR gene-editing, is helping scientists rewrite genes in human embryos. (Video: Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research). Scientists have announced the successful use of a next-generation tool to precisely edit human embryos’ DN
