Chinese scientist He Jiankui shocked the world when he genetically altered the twins to try to protect them from HIV. But a study in Nature's medicine showed people who naturally have the mutation he was trying to recreate were more likely to die young. Experts say his actions were foolish & very dangerous. The study showed those who had an only mutated version of CCR5 were 20% more likely to die before they turn 78.
