The World Health Organization (WHO) said Monday that genetic modification "may have unintended consequences" and that it is a team of experts charged with Study the ethical and safety aspects of the procedure and develop guidelines and standards for this purpose.
Last Thursday, the Chinese government ordered the temporary suspension of research activities on people involved in genetic modification of humans, after a Chinese scientist said to have undergone a genetic modification of two twins.
Chinese scientist He Jian-kui announced on Wednesday that he had used a technology known as Crisper K9 to tweak Jenny's twins before they were born this month.
He added that genetic modification would protect twins from the HIV virus.
"Genetic modification could have unintended consequences, which is an ambiguous situation that needs to be taken seriously," FAO Director-General Tidros Adhanom Gibressus said at a press briefing.
"The WHO is a group of experts and we will work with Member States to do everything in our power to ensure that all issues, whether ethical, social or related to security, be resolved before any action, "he said.
China's unspeakable announcement around the world has provoked a storm of international discontent over the ethics and integrity of such research.
"We are talking about humans – genetic modifications should not be harmful to people's safety in the future," Gibresus said. "We have to be very careful, the working group will do it in all frankness and transparency."
