    He also did actual time for it and everyone involved was banned from practicing medicine in China, even despite the fact they are the core of CRISPR technology at the moment, they still care enough about ethics to not support this.

    Seems like a case of one rogue team of people deciding what they where doing was for the moral good and then the state checking them.

        Good thing the CPC put a roadblock on that path and diverted us back into the morally grey middle road then.
