"We are asking the officials of the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission to open an investigation as soon as possible," he said in a statement, to genetically intervene on twins so to strengthen their immunity against HIV-causing HIV. used expressions.

The study was also criticized on the grounds that modifying genes can cause problems in other genes' tasks or can cause other health problems.

Chinese scientist Hı Cienkui said that 7 pairs of IVF-treated embryos had modified their genes by the genetic modification method, and that the first binoculars with their genes were born this month.

The study of the scientist Hımn on sperm infection with HIV removed in the laboratory environment of sperm infection, then a single sperm for embryo formation is placed in a single egg, it has been indicated that the next stage of the genetic modification method has been introduced.

In the laboratory, it was reported that 16 out of 22 embryos had undergone genetic modification, 11 embryos had been placed in the mother's uterus, and interventions had been made with twin babies called "Lulu" and "baby". Nana ".

The location of genetically modified babies and the identity of their families remain uncertain.
