Modificación genética a llegado

Logran borrar una enfermedad hereditaria en un embrión. La era en la que los humanos podrán modificar su propia evolución ya ha comenzado. Al menos, se ha dado el primer paso. Cuatro centros de investigación de prestigio de Estados Unidos, Corea del Sur y China han demostrado por primera vez que se puede burlar el destino y borrar una mala herencia genética que se arrastra de generación en generación. Curar antes del nacimiento e incluso antes de que el feto sea gestado, manipulando el genoma humano en el laboratorio. Pero este apasionante trabajo abre una inquietante puerta: la utilización de esta misma tecnología para fines menos loables como crear bebés «a la carta», con un color de ojos determinado, resistencia física o mayor inteligencia, por ejemplo.

They manage to erase a hereditary disease in an embryo. The era in which humans can modify their own evolution has already begun. At least, the first step has been taken. Four prestigious research centers in the United States, South Korea and China have shown for the first time that they can outwit fate and erase a bad genetic inheritance that drags from generation to generation. Cure before birth and even before the fetus is brewed, manipulating the human genome in the laboratory. But this exciting work opens a haunting door: the use of the same technology for less laudable purposes such as creating babies "à la carte", with a certain eye color, physical endurance or greater intelligence, for example.
