Scene featuring Antonio Regalado from "Make People Better," the new CRISPR baby documentary

Chinese scientist He Jiankui created shock waves in 2018 with the stunning claim that he’d altered the genetic makeup of IVF embryos and implanted them into a woman’s uterus, leading to the birth of twin girls.
The existence of the CRISPR baby project was uncovered by MIT Technology Review on the eve of an international genome-editing summit in Hong Kong, held in November 2018. This was reported on extensively by MIT Technology Review senior editor for biomedicine, Antonio Regalado.
This remarkable story and the events leading up to it are told in a new documentary by ‪@codysheehy_Rhumbline‬, entitled "Make People Better."
