Without the treatment, an inheritable neurological disorder would’ve killed him before the age of three. Two years later across the world in China, two girls, also as embryos, had their genes edited using CRISPR to make them (theoretically) resistant to HIV infection. The edits didn’t hit their intended target—instead, the girls may be more prone to infections, have altered brain functions, and even experience earlier deaths.
