China confirms birth of gene-edited babies, vows to punish scientist who 'acted on his own' | Daily Mail Online

"A Chinese investigation says the scientist behind the birth of two babies whose genes had been edited in hopes of making them resistant to the AIDS virus acted on his own 'for personal fame and profit' and will be punished for violating regulations."

'His university disavowed his work and fellow academics condemned his unethical actions and slammed his procedure, intentions and whimsical approach to morality. ', "One of the mothers gave birth to twins nicknamed 'Lulu' and 'Nana', the investigators said."

'Dr He was trained as a physicist, not a biologist, and was therefore unqualified and likely unable to carry out the research himself. '

'Gene editing for reproductive purposes is effectively banned in the US and most of Europe. '
