There has been consensus that to Take an embryo with altered genes and put it in a woman to create a child is just beyond the pale in terms of what's morally acceptable.

And very quickly you see this shift happen to the point that a lot of the social media in China disappears. So what it looks like now is that you have, from the beginning, a consistent, coherent perspective that this is deeply problematic science. And the only context in which it's seen differently is a couple of individual scientists who either are amongst those who just believe

Science should be free. We should endorse blue sky science and others who actually wanted to do the work themselves. And so you have a small pocket of people who are saying, no, this is actually tremendous. This is, in fact, important progress. We need to do this. Some will add, we need to do this responsibly.

Oh, probably been thinking about it for a very long time. If you include people that do science fiction writing, right? And I think it's always in the context typically of an enhancement. So it's actually not limited to the idea that we would be able to offer therapeutic interventions to people, but rather that we'd be able to make new humans, super humans.

The imagination really kind of moves in a particular direction once we actually have the human embryo outside of the body. And that's happening in the 1970s. So once we get the human embryo outside of the body, we have the ability to manipulate this thing. We begin to study this thing, right? What happens when we take this and put it back into a uterus?

And then once it is in a woman's body and is continuing to develop, we have all kinds of other technologies we use to scrutinize the development and to see whether or not we think we're going to have a healthy birth. And so it's in this context that we now start imagining Well, if this isn't on the right track, what do we do?

Well, could we identify embryos that have a problem before we actually transfer them? And then you'd only transfer the healthy embryos. And we make that transition in the 1990s.
