They can actually do that now with Cas9 CRISPR…Wait until china starts it..than the U.S will follow suit if they haven’t done it already.

Wow! I didn’t know that. Thanks to you, I read about it. It seems editing reproductive cells isn’t legal yet. But it’s only a matter of time.

Many of the proposed applications involve editing the genomes of somatic? (non-reproductive) cells but there has been a lot of interest in and debate about the potential to edit germline? (reproductive) cells.
Because any changes made in germline cells will be passed on from generation to generation it has important ethical implications.
Carrying out gene editing in germline cells is currently illegal in the UK and most other countries.
