Hey Evie,
I enjoyed reading your response on gene editing babies. I think Jankui didn't think all the way through the experiment, I think he was just so focused on the outcome that he overlooked the risks and complications. I agree with you when you say this experiment had no benefit to the babies other than to prove that it could be possibly be done. I don't think they actually cared about how the experiment would react the the babies or even the parents. A lot of our classmates spoke about the Tuskegee Syphilis Clinical Trail. Me personally I didn't write about that specific trail I wrote about Henrietta Lacks. The Tuskegee Syphilis Trail was very unethical. With this study , I didn't like how they treated the black men were treated and how they wasn't allowed to get the right treatment for syphilis.
