The science world has condemned a Chinese researcher, who says he has created the world's first genetically-edited babies. He claims he altered the embryos of twin girls born earlier this month to make them resistant to HIV infection. Many in the scientific community have cast doubt on the breakthrough and questioned its morality. Even the scientist's university says the work violated ethical standards. The methods have been used on plants and animals, but never before on humans.
