There was an operation where they were taking human embryos, a human embryo, and modifying the genome a little bit, and they said it was all, much like they had done with...
with animals and it was done on a human and it came out and the professors, I mean the Chinese professor I think was eventually put in prison.
I mean there was a huge amount of pressure and the scientific community really came after the people.
There was an American who was collaborating with them and his career was about ended.
as a result of this, and I knew him.
I mean, he's a nice guy, I knew him, yeah.
But it was about the end of his career, and I think there was a five-year penalty that you couldn't get government funding again, which is gonna toast a career.
That's the end of the career for an American academician.
So the community came strongly against that.
Worldwide, worldwide biochemistry community.
That's the one that made the news.

Yeah, we can only imagine.

Exactly.
So most of all of origin of life is getting to that first cell Luca.
It's called the last universal common ancestor so that cell which happened to be the progenitor of all life and that cell then modified into the Diversity of life that you see today.
