Do Chinese children with a genetically modified brain have a supernatural brain?

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A new study has shown that changes in the DNA of Chinese infants can also affect their brains. Will the twin students of Lulu and Nana be very superior and very intelligent?

The birth of these two Chinese children shocked and sparked controversy within the global scientific community late last year when researcher Hee Jankui of the Shenzhen University of Science and Technology surprised the worldwide by announcing on YouTube the birth of the first two genetically modified children using Cresper "He said.

The researcher said he had modified the CCR5 gene to make girls resistant to HIV if they were infected as a result of parental transmission. However, new research shows that this modification of DNA can also affect the brain of children.

The CCR5 gene plays a key role in the memory and ability of the brain to form, and its 2016 lab tests have shown that its elimination, said Alessino J. Silva, neuroscience expert at the University of California in Los Angeles, in an article from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Rats greatly improves the memory.

Prediction is impossible
Since then, further research has shown that people who naturally break the CCR-5 gene quickly recover from vascular and brain abnormalities and have better academic outcomes.

"The simple explanation is that these mutations are likely to have an impact on the cognitive function of twins," says the neuroscientist. "It is impossible to predict the precise impact on the cognitive abilities of twins, and for this reason, such a process should not be realized.

As a result, some scientists are now wondering if the real purpose of Giancoe's experiment is to be superior intelligent beings, believing that it could be so in the course of a race to the excellence in biotechnology between nations, especially the United States and China.

The experience of the Chinese team was largely condemned, and Frankenstein, accused of falsifying "morality assessment documents" after being fired from his university, opened an investigation into Giancoi, now designated by the Chinese press.
