Chinese scientists genetically modify human embryos

In a world first, Chinese scientists have reported editing the genomes of human embryos…

Scary stuff right?  Run for the hills.  We all know those Chinese can’t be trusted, right?

Meh.  I’m not buying into the mass fear factor just yet.  Time will tell but I just can’t believe that Chinese Scientists are aggressively working on creating a real life Godzilla.

There appears to be some aggressive copyright protection on this page so I’m going to keep it short.  You can read further information about what could be a promising technology here – http://www.nature.com/news/chinese-scientists-genetically-modify-human-embryos-1.17378.  I’m remaining open to the ethics behind it till I can get a more scientific review rather than an emotional outburst that is more akin to a scare tactic than it is news.
