Almost half of the modified embryos ended up with unintended edits that could result in birth defects, or even cancer.

Researchers have to terminate any animal embryo that develops more than 30% human brain tissue.

Selecting traits is way more difficult than making corrections.

Debojyoti Chakraborty, a genome editing researcher, explains.

The designer baby dystopia begins.

A geneticist and a social scientist discuss.

CRISPR technology advances once more ... for now.

Current experimental reproductive technology hints at what the future of human reproduction holds Human reproduction is a complicated process. The miracle of life is, perhaps, that humans have lasted so long when, after a millenia of evolution, our method for 

Two weeks ago, we reported on a significant problem with the CRISPR gene editing technology, and by this week, it appears the problem has been at least partly rectified. Scientists from The University of Texas at Austin developed a technique 

CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology made waves in the scientific community a few years ago, when it appeared to allow precise editing of genetic mutations. For parents-to-be who carry genetic mutations themselves, or find out that a fetus carries a dangerous
