The House Appropriations Committee voted to retain the ban after a subcommittee lifted the prohibition last month. The ban prohibits the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from considering any proposals to try to use genetically modified embryos to try to establish pregnancies. Members were reluctantly agreeing to reinstate the ban but hoped it would be reconsidered at some point. US Senators introduced a bipartisan resolution encouraging international standards for germline editing to "prevent unethical researchers from moving to whichever country has the loosest regulations".]]> 2022-10-12 04:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/richellegalang60/37qpj1scowwqik0p/wish/2336384413 richellegalang60 https://padlet.com/richellegalang60/37qpj1scowwqik0p/wish/2336386112 Third gene-edited baby is expected to be born.]]> 2022-10-12 04:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/richellegalang60/37qpj1scowwqik0p/wish/2336386112 richellegalang60 https://padlet.com/richellegalang60/37qpj1scowwqik0p/wish/2336386378 He Jiankui is released from prison.]]> 2022-10-12 04:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/richellegalang60/37qpj1scowwqik0p/wish/2336386378 richellegalang60 https://padlet.com/richellegalang60/37qpj1scowwqik0p/wish/2374286594 The system used to modify genetics is first discovered and is used to cut out sequences of DNA to insert replacement genes.
