Startup urges rethink of ban on gene-edited babies

Original: Making gene-edited babies is illegal. This startup says it may be time to reconsider

A startup is publicly challenging the legal prohibition on creating gene-edited babies, arguing it may be time to reconsider the ban. Heritable human genome editing is illegal in many countries, and the company's stance reignites debate over whether the technology should remain off-limits or be allowed under strict oversight. Critics warn of serious ethical and safety risks, while supporters point to preventing genetic disease.

Why now: The company's open call to overturn a widely held legal and ethical taboo is reigniting debate over human genetic editing.
