He said the three genome-edited children were “perfectly healthy and have no problems with their growth”, according to the newspaper, adding that the twins, now aged 5, were attending kindergarten.

This motherfucker is playing William Tell with baby genes and claiming it's safe because he didn't put an arrow into somebody's forehead. He won't even know if he hit the apple unless he exposes the children to HIV.
