Genetic Advance Human Race - He Jiankui CRISPR CAS9 ARMY

China has unlocked a gate to mutation of Human gene. Chinese Scientist He Jiankui has used CRISPR CAS9 technology to modify Human DNA. However, the cause for this development was very noble – Twin child in womb were infected by HIV virus , as the father of those kids was infected by HIV. The Scientist has disabled a gene called CCR5 so the girls might be resistant to potential infection with HIV/AIDS. As claimed by the scientist He Jiankui, the experiment of Gene-editing is successful and life of both the kids are safe now. Then where is the controversy? The Scientist (He Jiankui) created the world’s first babies genetically edited with CRISPR technology: a set of twin girls, with a  third potential CRISPR baby on the way. But many scientists, all around the globe (even in China), believes that CRISPR isn’t yet safe and precise enough to be used in human embryos. The Scientist community has even imposed tough norms over usage of CRISPR CAS9 on human beings...
