Britain To Begin Genetically Modifying Human Embryos

weaselzippers
Isn’t this how every Sci-Fi movie starts?
The genetic manipulation of human IVF embryos is set to start in Britain for the first time following a licence application by scientists who want to understand why some women suffer repeated miscarriages.
If the research licence is granted by the Government’s fertility watchdog it will be only the second known occasion in the world where the chromosomes of human embryos have been genetically manipulated using a revolutionary gene-editing technique called Crispr/Cas9.
Thank You Independent and Bill.
