A scientist who has created genetically modified babies must stop now

Chinese scientist He Jiankui, who himself reported that he had caused the birth of genetically modified babies, must stop his research. That's what the Chinese Ministry of Science decided on Thursday.

On Wednesday, the scientist decided to stop his research after the indignation of his colleagues and the Chinese government. Now he must finally stop his research.

The ministry calls babies "of an extremely horrible nature". With this modification, the scientist would have violated the Chinese law and violated the scientific ethics.

He Jiankui on Monday aroused outrage and disapproval of the world when he announced the birth of babies. "Two beautiful Chinese girls, Lulu and Nana, were born a few weeks ago, crying and being as healthy as any other baby," he said via a video on YouTube.
