I studied Biotechnology in my undergrad, I can totally relate with everything in this article.
I think Jiankui just wanted to prove a point, which is not good. The gene edit was totally not necessary. I think the world has already been able to manage HIV to a point that it is no longer a threat.
I wish he would have performed a gene edit in a life or death situation. That was not cool.
