For deep thinkers, one question leads to another, and there’s always more to the story…
Did you know?
Russian president Vladimir Putin spoke of the possibility of using gene editing to make super soldiers who “can fight without fear or pain.”
Digging Deeper…
Putin mentioned this in his remarks at The 19th World Festival of Youth & Students in Sochi in 2017.

What’s Next?
There’s no sign of super soldiers yet (that I know of), but the first gene edited babies were created by He Jiankui in China in 2018. More on this in forthcoming “In The Know” Newsletters, as well as topics about: the ethics of gene editing, The Human Genome Editing Summits, new treatments using CRISPR Cas 9 (Sickle Cell Disease), the first CRISPR Cas 9 gene edited organ transplant, and more!
Update: Justed added to The Backstory of KRISPR: The Songs that Inspired.
