Gene enhancing can appropriate or enhance the DNA of human embryos, basically opening the door to “technological evolution” of our species. However in 2018, a untimely try to make use of gene enhancing led to a jail time period for He Jiankui, the researcher concerned. Editor in chief Mat Honan and senior editor for biomedicine Antonio Regalado have a dialog with He Jiankui, biophysicist and creator of the primary gene-edited people, to revisit this controversial expertise and the way forward for enhancing in IVF clinics.
