The man, He Jiankui, made the pre-conference claims genetic technology, and his alleged work withdrew rapid criticism from many other medical researchers who found that human genetic modification was dangerous and immoral.

Following his exposure, news about his past research and an overall career has started to cheat out. The university was associated with her, who claimed he had cleared to make a genetic adjustment, had shot his story soon after she became public, and now it seems that the scientist had stopped a & # 39 ; to post as far as 1 February, 2018.

He claims to use CRIPSR-Cas-9 gene editing technology to convert human embryos to resist HIV. The pair of twins of those embryos were born, according to the scientist. However, the work has not been reviewed by peers and had almost zero supervision, doubting whether it was actually done or not.

A new statement issued by the university condemns the genetic modification if it has been true. The school states that he has contacted her Soon after the news about his achievement and allegedly began to spread, adding that the organization had formed three opinions about the allegations. Here's what they said (translated):

First, the research was carried out outside the school by Associate Professor Jiankui. He did not report to the school and the biology department, and the school and the biology department did not know about it.

Secondly, for Professor He Jiankui Connect to use genetic editing technology for human embryo research, the Department of Biology's Academic Committee believes it seriously violates academic ethics and academic norms.

The University of Science and Technology requires strict scientific research to comply with international academic ethics and academic norms in accordance with national laws and regulations. Our school will immediately hire authoritative experts to establish an independent committee to carry out detailed investigations and publish relevant information after an investigation.

It is increasingly popular to see China as a kind of "wild west" in terms of medical and scientific activities, with fewer regulations than the US and many of Europe. That could be true, to a point, but it is absolutely clear that many organizations in China maintain ethical standards similar to foreign counterparts.
