We are in the midst of a gene-editing revolution. For four decades, scientists have tinkered with our genes. Since the 1970s, they’ve experimentally switched them on and off, uncovering their functions; mapped their location within our genome; and even inserted or deleted them in animals, plants and human beings. And in November 2018, a Chinese scientist claimed to have created the world’s first genetically modified human beings. Though scientists have made great inroads into understanding…
