David Cyranoski, Nature via Scientific American; What CRISPR-Baby Prison Sentences Mean for Research
"A Chinese court has sentenced He Jiankui, the biophysicist who announced
that he had created the world’s first gene-edited babies, to three
years in prison for “illegal medical practice”, and handed down shorter
sentences to two colleagues who assisted him. The punishments put to
rest speculation over whether the Chinese government would bring
criminal charges for an act that shocked the world, and are likely to
deter others from similar behaviour, say Chinese scientists."
