Scientists at OHSU recently announced that they’ve made a stunning breakthrough. They have successfully repaired a gene in human embryos to repair a common and serious disease-causing mutation, producing apparently healthy embryos. This technique could potentially be used in the future to edit out inherited genetic mutations – including those that cause Huntingtons, Tay-Sachs, breast cancer or even Alzheimers – from human embryos. It also raises the prospect of editing embryos for other traits – i.e. creating “designer babies.”
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
