A Chinese medical worker shows a human embryo as she performs genetic testing on fertilized eggs or embryos for test-tube babies in the lab of Shanxi Province Reproductive Science Institute in Taiyuan city, north China's Shanxi province, 29 November 2018. The Chinese government on Thursday (29 November 2018) ordered a halt to work by a medical team involved in the editing of human genes, after a Chinese scientist announced that he had edited the genes of twin babies. Researcher He Jiankui said this week that he had altered the DNA of the twins to try to enable them to be resistant to infection with the AIDS virus.

  • Download von www.picturedesk.com am 08.02.2023 (09:12).  He Jiankui, an associate professor of the Southern University of Science and Technology's biology department, speaks during the Human Genome Editing Conference in Hong Kong, China, 28 November 2018. A Chinese scientist on Wednesday made his first public comments about his claim to have helped make the world's first gene-edited babies. He Jiankui of Shenzhen detailed the work that he said led to the births earlier this month of twin girls whose DNA he altered when they were conceived. The work is highly controversial because the changes can be passed to future generations and could harm other genes. He spoke Wednesday at a conference on gene editing in Hong Kong, the first time he's discussed his experiment in a public venue. He says he altered the DNA of twin girls when they were conceived to try to help them resist possible future infection with the AIDS virus.

    4 /6 Erst später wurde bekannt, dass der vermeintliche Erfolg gar keiner war. Wie Fachleute damals in der "MIT Technology Review" schrieben, hat Jiankui "die angestrebte Mutation nicht wirklich reproduziert. Vielmehr schuf er neue Mutationen, die zu einer HIV-Resistenz führen könnten, es aber auch nicht tun."

    5 /6 Kritisiert wurde unter anderem He Jiankuis intransparentes und überhastetes Vorgehen. So soll er Jahrzehnte an Sicherheitsforschung einfach übergangen haben. "Die Technik ist zwar ausgereift, aber niemand weiß, welche Langzeitfolgen die Anwendung bei menschlichen Embryonen hat", erkläre Martin Jinek von der Universität Zürich damals.

    6 /6 Nach seiner Haftentlassung forscht He Jiankui wieder: Er habe in Peking ein neues Labor eingerichtet, um an erschwinglichen Gentherapien für seltene genetische Krankheiten zu arbeiten. Zudem soll er die Eröffnung einer gemeinnützigen Forschungsorganisation vorbereiten. "Ich habe eine langfristige Vision, nämlich, dass jeder von uns frei von Erbkrankheiten sein sollte."
