Joe, Leslie, and Christine Percheski (Northwestern University) discuss the story of He Jiankui, a Chinese professor who claimed to have gene-edited babies to make them resistant to HIV. They discuss the research ethics problems presented by this research, but also the disturbing implications of a technology whose development seems immanent.
