Scientists: World not ready for genetically-edited babies

A group of leading scientists have declared that it's still too soon to try making permanent changes to DNA, that can be inherited by future generations, as a Chinese researcher claims to have done. 14 scientists, including Nobel laureates said, although science holds promise for helping people, it's irresponsible to try it on eggs, sperm or embryos except in lab research, because not enough is known about its risks or safety. They have called for an independent probe into claims made by the Chinese researcher.
