On November 25th, 2018, Henry Greely turned on his computer to find an email which read “Crispr babies”. The mail was a link to a story at the MIT Technology Review outlining how a Chinese scientist, He Jiankui, had used the Crispr gene-editing technology to edit two babies. Greely knew immediately that this was the biggest story in genetics since the cloning of Dolly the sheep back in 1996. The two babies – nonidentical twin girls – were the first people ever born using the Crispr method. Jiankui was later prosecuted and now serves a three-year jail sentence.
