Chinese scientist claims to have created the world's first genetically edited BABIES - twin girls altered to resist HIV infection
科学家称世界首例经过基因编辑的婴儿已经诞生——双胞胎女婴的基因经过修改,可以抵抗艾滋病毒感染
The DNA of twin girls was altered with a powerful new tool capable of rewriting the very blueprint of life, Chinese researcher Dr He Jiankui says.
研究人员贺建奎博士称,通过一种强大的新技术更改了双胞胎女婴的DNA,这种技术能够改写生命的蓝图。
He claims the babies, named LuLu and Nana, were born a few weeks ago and have a resistance to infection with HIV, the AIDS virus.
这对双胞胎女婴叫分别叫露露和娜娜,是在几个星期前出生的,对艾滋病毒有抵抗力。
A US scientist said he took part in the work in China, but this kind of gene editing is banned in the United States due to risks that altered DNA will warp other genes.
一位美国科学家表示,他在参与了这项研究,但是这种基因编辑在美国是被禁止的,因为更改后的DNA可能会影响其它基因。
These potentially dangerous changes may then be passed down to future generations.
这些潜在的危险变化可能会传给下一代。
Gene editing is banned in Britain, the US many other parts of the world, and researchers said that, if Dr He's claims are true, the 'monstrous' experiment was 'not morally or ethically defensible.'
基因编辑在英国、美国和世界其他许多地方都是被禁止的,研究人员表示,如果贺博士的说法属实,那么这个“可怕的”试验“在道德或伦理上都站不住脚”。

There will always be those who are willing to take the risk to ensure healthier, stronger and smarter offspring. If not through gene therapy, cybernetics will take that role. However, this should be researched properly for side effects before approving actual use on humans.
总有一些人愿意冒险,以确保后代更健康、更强壮、更聪明。然而,在批准对人类使用这项技术之前,应该对其副作用进行适当的研究。

I don't know about this. On one hand, modifying humans to be diseases resistant is intriguing but the potential for abuse is definitely there. Controversies often follow progress. I remember when they first cloned Dolly the sheep. People were up in arms over scientists playing God. Fast forward to today and South Korea clones dogs all the time. Where do you draw the line between scientific progress and ethics?
对这方面我不不了解。一方面,更改基因以抵抗疾病是挺新奇的,但也肯定存在被滥用的可能性。进步往往都伴随着争议,我记得他们第一次克隆多利羊的时候。人们对科学家扮演上帝的角色都竭力反对。如今,韩国一直都在克隆狗。科学进步和伦理之间的界限在哪里?

And this is where the demise of the human race will start! Humans playing God, messing about with nature is a huge red flag, what next... genetically modified soldiers that don't die.. this is a disaster waiting to happen
这就是人类灭亡的开始!人类扮演上帝的角色,违反自然法则是一个巨大的危险信号,下一步是不是要造不死的转基因士兵?这是一场即将发生的灾难。

Altering the genes won't prevent pain and suffering in life. Sure, they won't get aids but the half pains of life will come. Everyone always had the same opportunities for happiness, and always had equal rights. People consume the neurotoxns and drive each other insane. Money doesn't buy happiness, and neither does altered genes.
改变基因并不能避免生活中的痛苦。当然,他们不会得艾滋病,但生活中还有其它痛苦会找上来。金钱买不到幸福,改变基因也换不了幸福。

Hopefully, God/ Mother Nature, will put the smackdown on the work of these mad scientists. Nature has a way of correcting itself....Hopefully sooner than later. Humanity playing with the proverbial fire is not a good thing....
但愿上帝和大自然能对这些疯狂科学家的工作予以回击。玩火自焚可不是什么好事。
