1/ Here @picardonhealth covers a lot of ground on the #CRISPRbaby story, much of which I agree with but… “the technology is changing so quickly that many scientists are taking a “if I don’t do it, someone else will” attitude.” theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
@picardonhealth 2/ There’s very little I disagree with André on but here’s hoping he is wrong. If a scientist is rushing to be first to engineer a human without extraordinary safety, they are a charlatan.
@picardonhealth 3/ Notably, operating (for this is similar) on an embryo without knowing exactly what the outcome will be (and no one does today) is like a surgeon operating with a blindfold. That is more than unethical, it is criminal.

#GeneEditSummit Update 1 for citizen journalists covering 'medical': Definitely listen Dana Carroll's presentation (when archived). After listening, if it still seems too technical, then also read this book (learn their 'terms of art'!):
