So in case anyone haven't heard yet, there are Chinese scientists who very recently claimed that they managed to create gene edit a twin baby girls, but after an outcry from the masses all over the world, it is now reported that China ordered the research to be stopped. Do you think China made the right decision? Do you believe that these Chinese scientists really made the first gene edited baby? What do you think is their reason for doing this in the first place? Share your thoughts below and let's discuss!

I doubt they really did it - or they did it and it didn't turn out well.

Or it turned out so well it's now another "elite technology"

None of it matters.

They say they stopped, they either never had it - or are now just hiding it because it works.

No matter how you cut it.
