The Chinese Ministry of Health has banned experiments with people in the field of gene modification, describing these "extremely disgusting" and "blatant violations of medical ethics" as contrary to Chinese legislation. Deputy Minister of Health Hu Nanping told the Xinhua News Agency on Thursday that the information was reported by TASS.
According to the manager, his department "strongly opposes such experiences". "The modification of human embryo genes is totally forbidden in China," said the vice minister of health.
The banning of experiments to modify human genes in China followed the scandal provoked by scientist He Jiankui's statement that he helped to create the first people in the world to undergo a genetic modification – two binoculars. After a strong negative reaction from the Chinese scientific community and medical circles abroad, He Jiankui said that "he is taking a break from his work in the field of genetic engineering".
