Hi Caitlin! I really enjoyed your post. I agree with you that funding withdrawal is a huge concern here. Treatments that modify DNA have the potential to save lives, so while it's tempting to just try whatever we can to relieve people's suffering, it's important to remember that every intervention has a potential cost, and proceed with caution. Experiments like these really damage the chance for other people to gain funding, or for patients to receive the treatments they may need. That said, I’m really glad the majority of the medical community came out and condemned Jankui He’s actions. That may help people to have more confidence in researchers. Hopefully.
